A Neovim plugin that adds virtual text support to nvim-dap, displaying variable values inline in the editor during debugging sessions. It uses nvim-treesitter to locate variable definitions and highlights changed variables and exception stop reasons.

Use cases

• show variable values inline while debugging in neovim
• display debug variable values as virtual text next to code
• highlight changed variables during a debug session in neovim
• see exception stop reasons in the editor while debugging
• add inline debug annotations to nvim-dap

When to choose

• you use nvim-dap and want inline variable values without opening a separate UI panel
• you want to visually track which variables changed while stepping through code
• you prefer a lightweight treesitter-based debugging display in Neovim

When to avoid

• you don't use Neovim or nvim-dap
• you need a full graphical debugger UI rather than inline text
• your language lacks treesitter locals queries for definitions and references
