How to skip lines in Pycharm debug mode with Python?

Question

Let's say I put a breakpoint in the first line.
I see no option to simply skip the 2nd line and jump straight to the print statement.
Is there any hidden option? If not, what is the most non-intrusive way?
Commenting out the lines I don't wanna run is not elegant.

a = 3
a = 4
print(a)

debuger runs all code so you have to remove this line or comment it. — furas, Dec 18 '20 at 13:13
Why would you want to skip lines? If you want to know what it did at that point, right-click and open "evaluate expression" and paste the line you're interested in. — user2390182, Dec 18 '20 at 13:15
insert a condition before 2nd line in order to skip it through conditional logic. — Jatin Mehrotra, Dec 18 '20 at 13:16
@furas weirdly enough Gigioz' answer is working, it actually skips lines, feel free to also try it out — Chris, Dec 18 '20 at 16:46

You can do right click on the third statement and Jump to Cursor. This is a manual action though... I don't think there is a mode to only run breakpointed lines...
