Is there a simple way to start debugging without programming?
ie, on a chip that's already programmed, just start debugging - don't do a download.

For AVR in the place where you select Dragon/JTAGICE/whatever there's options for the chosen device and one is a tick box for "program device when starting debugging" or words to that effect. I sort of assume it's something similar for ARM?
Yes you can skip programming. That's always been a thorn in my side because I use a bootloader and Studio programming would erase it, unless I knew the hoops to jump through. Now it's easy. This picture shows "Simulator" because I don't have my debugger plugged in, but it works in any case.
Yes, I know that one - but I don't really call it a simple way.
And you have to remember to set it back again next time you do want to download.
Sorry, it's simpler than Studio 4.
Actually I rarely want to program it via debugger (and wipe out the bootloader) and I seldom need to do on chip debugging anyway. When I change a program, I debug it by running my code on my PC. When it looks good I program the AVR via bootloader. I suppose I'm the only one that writes his AVR code so it can be run on a PC with Visual Studio.
Well I guess lots of people use the Atmel simulator. If it is easy to simulate the peripherals and whatever is connected to the peripherals, that would be a good way to debug. I don't think that was the case when I started with AVRs.
Sound like you want a one shot deal. I'll vote for that.
What I want is to automatically do an "add as link" when I add an existing file to a project. And I suggest that "copy and add" be labeled as such. They could remove the "copy and add" entirely as far as I'm concerned, or make that some kind of a permanent option.

I'd settle for 2 clicks:
