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.
