Hover to see values

Is there any chance you could have the functionality to put a breakpoint then when you hover the mouse over a variable it shows the value in a title/speech bubble?

Yeah, thought about this and I'd love that feature too! I played a bit around already and it's totally doable just a heck load of work.

It will take some time, especially since the current stuff is still pretty buggy so it's not really top priority...

(in case you're interested, check out the "locals.js" which basically tries to get all vars from the current scope and do stuff with it, like auto completion, display them all grouped (like in the chrome dev tools on the right side) and at very last show them when you hover over them in the code. Brackets actually provides some helper to parse the text in the current document so it shouldn't be too hard to find most of them. Just not much done there yet)
