Debugging - Watch - Keyboard shortcut

[Léa Massiot]

Hello and thank you for reading my post.

Every time I want to watch a new variable, I have to:
1) select the variable,
2) right-click,
3) scroll top,
4) click "Watch <variable_name>".

Is there any keyboard shortcut which would allow me  to:
1) select the variable I want to watch
2) and then compose the keyboard shortcut to have it watched?

Thank you for your help and best regards.

If you use a recent version of C::B you can select the variable you want to watch and drag it into the watches window.

I'm adding it to my TODO. Thank you for the request.

Indeed, it works for me, thank you.

I'm adding it to my TODO. Thank you for the request.

Very quick and easy. This instruction should be added to the debug wiki(nightlies section).

Right now the wiki has:

Code Select Expand


Click in the empty last row in the watches window, type the name of the variable (or full expression) and hit enter.


Which meant that I was doing a lot of typing of variable names in the watches window(up to 15 variables or more), and this was error-prone for long variable names. I couldn't find a way of auto-completing variable names in the watches window - I don't think that this is actually an option?

Is this in your TODO list?

The automatic inclusion of local variables and function arguments[in the Watches window] have not being reimplemented. Sorry about the inconvenience.

Yes, but it is low priority
