Speaking English:

Menu item Scripting | "Step Through Scripts" sounds too much like an action that's triggered when you select the item -- confusing to newbies because it's just a property toggle that does nothing by itself. What would be a good alternative?

Step Mode
Stepping Mode

?

Enable Debug Mode

Hmm, not bad actually, but pretty far from the current phrasing.

English speakers, choose one:
Step Mode
Stepping Mode
Debug Mode
Enable Debug Mode

Debug Mode

Sorry: no native english...

But for me step-mode is a debug-mode, while debug-mode can be something else, like diagnose messages etc.

Defnitely not Debug Mode. Whenever I hear those two words I instantly think of tinkering with an application's innards. I'd be happy with Run Scripts Step-by-Step, but I rarely utilise this functionality so...

Well, it's under the Scripting menu, so I think it's very clear that it relates to the debugging of Scripts. I like Debug Mode, because that's what it's used for, right?

On the other hand, what it does is step through a script. It is used for debugging of course, but still Step Mode seems to be more "descriptive" of what this will achieve to me. It also works on a continuity basis, since it has always been referred to as stepping mode. Oh, and of course what it does can be done within a script, you know, using command step

Debug mode implies that it may do some things other than just STEP so I'm in agreement that that is not the ideal term here...yes. it is used to debug but use of debug mode is just too broad of a term.

OK, Step Mode is fine with me. I originally only wanted to know if the English term is OK.
