Title: I want to see the value of a variable by hovering over it

Hello,

I want to see the value of a variable by hovering over it. Is it possible in CB?

Thank you.

Yes, but it depend on the version you are using.

It's version 10.05 for Linux.

This version is rather limited, but you can enable this feature in settings -> compiler & debugger -> debugger -> evaluate expression under cursor
I advise you to upgrade to a recent nightly build if you want a decent debugger experience. 10.05 is rather poor.

It worked - thank you.

I can see debugging is a bit painful in 10.05. I looked at nightly builds but the binaries are only for Windows. Is there a place I can download for Linux? I am on Ubuntu 64.

Yes, search the forum, there are 2-3 options available.
