This works for me. I know this will make some people's

Yeah, I liked and miss that. Frankly I can't stand
having to use a separate global variable viewer.
Maybe a 'Locally Used Globals' variable tree is in
order.
I prefer both. I like to have a separate window for
globals, especially, e.g. when sorting out three globals
used by different predecessors to hold the same data. But
I also like the idea of simple ways to constrain such lists
to manageable proportions.
Agreed.
You can probably use expressions.
Yeah, but that would be a pain!
But it would also be nice to have a button in the globals
window to select just the globals referenced in the current
method/function... or even just the globals referenced by
that other function/method you were looking at a minute ago
together with the globals referenced in the current
method/function. (Toggling drives me nuts. I want to see
them together.)
Maybe this would be just as nice, but having the globals referenced
by the function currently being viewed displayed in the variable list
in the debugger window would also be a time saver. For example, your
stepping through some code that modifies some global variables, every
time you want to see the results you either have to switch to a
different window or have the window somewhere else on the screen
where it will still be visible.
So, I think both would be nice. Why don't you file an enhancement
request? It will most likely never be implemented if nobody asks for it.
