Interactive variable inspection

[jiku]

With the current version, I'm constantly using console.log, and having a few issues with

• the time it takes to add a console.log, even with Atom snippets
• code pollution (sometimes they sneak into commits... since they are so useful to have around that I often just comment them out)
• console.log output often goes past the editor window, with no wrapping, so anything past simple objects aren't inspectable unless you console.log it specifically
• (Objects being truncated, but that's beyond this feature request I think)

Would it be possible to add a feature that lets you inspect variables selected with and/or under cursor and/or carot, through the context menu and/or keyboard shortcuts? Then it outputs to a tooltip, the console or inline in the editor window. I.e. select the variable you want to inspect, press a hotkey and it shows the value somewhere.

Thanks for posting the feature request. We'll be addressing some of the points when implementing the debugger support feature, so feel free to subscribe to it.

For now you may use wallaby "Show line tests" command to get the full multiline report.
