Scopes and variables are represented by the buffer `vimspector.Variables`.
## Variable/selection hover evaluation
## Variable or selection hover evaluation
All rules for `Variables and scopes` apply plus the following:
* With mouse enabled, hover over a variable and get the value it evaluates to.
* Use your mouse to hightlight a expression (e.g. a + b) and the result of the expression.
* Use your mouse to perform a visual selection of an expression (e.g. `a + b`) and get its result.
* Call `vimspector#ShowTooltip()` or `vimspector#ShowTooltipForSelection()` to evaluate expressions without mouse (the only way to use this feature in nvim).
* Use regular nagivation keys to chose the current selection and `<Esc>` (or leave the tooltip window) to close the tooltip.
* Use regular nagivation keys to chose the current selection; `<Esc>` (or leave the tooltip window) to close the tooltip.
Note: using a selection evaluation might lead to undesired consequences, since **the expression is actually executed**. E.g. `c = a + b;` once this entire line is evaluated, value of `c` becomes the sum of `a` and `b`.
