Hello,

I want to see the value of a variable by hovering over it. Is it possible in CB?

Thank you.

It's version 10.05 for Linux.

This version is rather limited, but you can enable this feature in settings -> compiler & debugger -> debugger -> evaluate expression under cursor
I advise you to upgrade to a recent nightly build if you want a decent debugger experience. 10.05 is rather poor.

It worked - thank you.

I can see debugging is a bit painful in 10.05. I looked at nightly builds but the binaries are only for Windows. Is there a place I can download for Linux? I am on Ubuntu 64.

Yes, search the forum, there are 2-3 options available.
