This is why we moved to IDEA and upgraded our expectations, right ? ;-) With all the intelligent features of IDEA (which I love), I am sure that Intellij can figure out something better than what we have not. Even if it is just a text view where you can scroll, copy and cut, or even a just a View In Notepad button that writes the string to a file an opens a native editor (TextPad, vi, notepad, etc). After all, String is one of the most common types in Java. One of the things I would like to see in future version of IDEA is an improved usability of the existing features. There are quite a lot of places (and the debugger is one of them) where the usability can be improved and the operation can be less tedious. Maybe this is not as exotic or differentiating as refactoring but is something I deal with every day.
