IntelliJ IDEA 12.1.0 Web Help

When a breakpoint is set, the editor displays a breakpoint icon in the gutter area to the left of the affected source code. A breakpoint icon denotes status of a breakpoint, and provides useful information about its type, location, and action.

The icons serve as convenient shortcuts for managing breakpoints. Clicking an icon removes the breakpoint. Successive use of Alt+ClickAlt Click on an icon toggles its state between enabled and disabled. The settings of a breakpoint are shown at the tooltip when a mouse pointer hovers over a breakpoint icon in the gutter area of the editor.
