Hello LiClipse Community

I'm sort of new to python IDEs, and I have been using this one for only a couple of months now. My question is if there is a way to show a tooltip pop up of the value of a variable upon hovering my mouse over it? Coming from Visual Studio and C++/Java programming environments, I'm very used to tooltip window showing up and being able to interact with it by expanding the attributes and looking at the values of the variables. I have to constantly use the LiClipse console or the watch window. Both are tedious compared to what I'm used to.

Thanks

Hello Dexter,

Right now, you do get a tooltip, but no, it's not really possible to expand it, only to see its description (you have to use the variables view for that, add a watch and use the expressions view or the console). 

JDT supports it, so, it should be possible to add the same support which is currently only available through those other places to the tooltip when debugging. 

Please report a feature request on PyDev for that (https://www.brainwy.com/tracker/PyDev).

Best Regards,

Fabio
