Is it possible to change values on the fly with debugger?
Answered
Hello reader,
I used to have Eclipse as my IDE but ever since I got into IntelliJ I love it. One thing that always bothered me was the debugger of IntelliJ. I work with Java and sometimes the fact that I could change variables on the fly really made my life easier. Example: when using Graphics I could change the dimensions or the position of a Rectangle then I just had to press Ctrl+S (to save the file) and I would see the changes in the moment.
Is there such a functionality on IntelliJ, or maybe another way to do the same?
Thank you for your attention.

In IntelliJ IDEA Save action doesn't perform compilation, you need to use Build | Build (or remap Ctrl+S from Save All to Build | Build in the Keymap settings to get the same effect).
