Sample source:

$this->Name = 'Test';
$this->City = 'NY';

When in debug mode i position the cursor on $this->Name the debug shows all the vars of the class.
With a few vars this is not a problem, but when a class has a lot of vars I've to fallback on the debug windows to find the value for the class var.

Is there a way/option just to show the var the cusor is on instead of the whole class?


Scub.

If you positioned mouse on $this, debugger displays ~ top 30 values and shows that there are more. If you need only $this->Name evaluated, just select whole this text it and position mouse over it.
Alternatively you may type $this->Name then hit Enter in Immediate window or you may add this expression into Watch window.

I did not know it could be done this way ...
You could asked yourself however if you're really intereseted in the whole class object when you put the cursor over the var.
Whats wrong by showing the value immediately instead of marking the field first or go to immediate?

Every extra action just to show a single classvar is slowing down the debugging process the way you suggest ....

Perhaps I expect to much

If cursor is put over $this, whole the class is supposed to be shown.
If cursor is put over its member, for example, $this->somevar, I'd expect only this somevar to be shown. On the other hand, it's unclear what to do with $this->somemethod($args). If you select this method with arguments, debugger will call this method and show you the results. I'm not sure if it's good to have this done without any additional actions (text selection).
