Use "clear classes" or "clear -c" to tell Octave to reload class
definitions.

There are many things that do not yet work with classdef, and the
debugger looks to me like one of those. I also cannot set breakpoints in
a classdef constructor or method, whether it's internal or external to
the class definition. The keyboard() function does work, though, so you
can edit your classdef code and drop a "keyboard" wherever you want to
inspect.
