Comment:
You've confused two different debuggers, which is easy to do. But the
readme does have the hotkey and in the 5.4 section you mentioned under
AGI/SCI. Maybe it was added recently? There are also already wiki pages
about the debugger.
The wiki page you've linked is about Sierra's built-in debuggers, which
games include them, and how to activate them. It's fun trivia, and it's
sometimes helpful to developers, but it's not about ScummVM. They happen
to work in ScummVM because they're part of the games.
The ScummVM debugger on the other hand is part of ScummVM and available to
all SCI games and any other games where the engine authors have
implemented commands. It is documented:
https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Debugging_ScummVM
https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=SCI/FreeSCI/Debugger/Debugger_commands
A recent development: the debug hotkey is now configurable and it's the
second hotkey in the list under Options.
