Debugging - Mastering Unity Scripting - page 67

Once you're ready for in-editor debugging, click on the play button on the toolbar
and use pause if you ever need to stop game events to inspect a specific object and
its values from the Object Inspector. Remember that you can still use the transform
(position, rotation, and scale) tools in-game to reposition the player or enemies,
thus trying out new values and seeing which ones work and which ones do not.
Most importantly, however, all edits to the scene in the Game mode, via the Object
Inspector or transform tools, are temporary and will revert back after the Play mode
ends. For this reason, if you need to make permanent changes to settings, then you
would need to make them in the Edit mode. You can, of course, copy and paste
values between the Play and Edit modes using the Component context menu at any
time, as shown in the following screenshot. Remember that the hot key ( Ctrl + P )
toggles between the Play mode and ( Ctrl + Shift + P between paused and unpaused).
A full list of Unity hot keys is listed at http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/
