    Hello,

    Well, as the title goes, when debugging, can I see the value of a variable when hovering mouse over that variable?

    I am using Qt Creator, C++ projects.

    Thank you.

      Am I not asking question clearly, or this feature does not exist in QtCreator?

      Thanks.

        No, this is not possible.
        You can see the contents of a variable in the "locals and expressions" tab of the debugger view.

          For me it works, when the option in the debugger settings page is enabled (Option-->Debuger-->General-->"Use tooltips in main editor while debugging").

                You're welcome. It's there, I think, since the first version ;-).

                  LOL - I'm pretty sure I missed other similar stuff from the very beginning :)
