Declined Once Hovering is 100% Effective At Displaying Variable Values

[CityguyUSA]

Rather than asking the user to correctly highlight a variable name (do I include quotes do I include percents, etc) make hover correctly identify the variable name and then all the user should have to do is to right-click the variable name available without highlighting to add it to the Watch List if desired.

Currently, hovering doesn't always get the variable names correct and I suspect that's part of the issue of hovering not displaying values in IF and Set statements where variable names can be a bit confusing as well or they are amended to satisfy the statement structures. I suspect that anywhere the variable names are changed to statisfy particular statement functionality there's a problem hovering to display a value and the user may or may not be saavy enough to know but this is the point of automation to make tasks simpler.

The hovering is being done in Scintilla & sent to the debugger for evaluation. But Scintilla doesn't know anything about environment variables, FOR variables, internal variables, variable functions, or anything else. All it knows is that it found a delimited word. That word might (or might not) match a variable name.

Changing hovering to what you want means writing a new editor, which IMO is not desirable or feasible.
