I would suggest to this wonderful IDE a simple functionality that would make debugging much comfortable. Drag a selected variable from the source window and drop directly to the watches window. This exists in MSVC and it was of very use for me.

Thanks for reading.

Tip: You can right click on a variable and select "Watch '$variable'".

the only thing that's annoying about that is when the IDE thinks it's smarter than the user and tries to suggest the whole word at the cursor rather than the text I selected. particularly annoying when I want to watch foo->bar[i] not foo

I new, but I don't like much contexts menus nor any kind of menus. They slow the work. I like shorcuts. Menus must exist for the inexperienced user.
