Description
In the watch window, I'd like to be able to edit the value, and have it actually poke the memory.
Useful for debuggin'
Also, useful if say I want to copy the address at some expression, since I can open the edit window and actually copy from it.
Speaking of which that should be a feature too, copy values in the watch window to clipboard.
I'm on OS X 10.12.
VSCode Version 1.19.1 (1.19.1)
vscode-cpptools Version 0.14.5
I mainly write C++98 or C++11.
The only other plugin I'm using is CMake.

No files, tests, or entry points are named in the report. Start by locating the watch-window and debugger code in vscode-cpptools; done means editing a watched value changes target memory and watch values can be copied to the clipboard.
