Breakpoints in Run Section

I have my code broken up into sections, but if I set a breakpoint and then "Run Section", it ignores the breakpoint. Is there a way to use breakpoints with "Run Section"?

There is a way, simply write the word 'keyboard' where you want your 'Run Section' to stop, and it will enter debug mode at that line.

This was actually a good way and I liked it, but it doesn't go to any loop and that's its limitation.

Nope.
When you "Run Section" what's essentially happening is:
eval(Section_Contents)
Thus there is no way to have break points. I agree this can be pretty frustrating. A workaround is to put a break point on the first line of a section, then run the file the normal way. You can now run the section while in debug mode.
