Let us say I am seeing a tree like this in the local variables window: [-] this : [-] field : [-] field's field : [-] field's field's field <-----selected row Add ability to create a Watch point for the path: this.field.field's field.field's field's field This should work for static field case also when the context is a static method. Of course the pseudo nodes like "Static" and "Inherited" etc should be filtered out :) This is different that the Fixed watch feature which (as far as I understand) locks on a particular object. What I want it just a shortcut to create a Watch for nested expression. A wild idea is to create multiple watches like: this. this.field this.field.field's field. this.field.field's field.field's field's field or even better may be show this list in a dialog with checkboxes with last one selected And with Select All, Deselect All buttons also.
