Description
In attach debug, if there are a lot of local variables containing array of objects, the extension fetch a deep copy back to the editor making each step very slow. IntelliJ run fast by only showing the variable's name and type and only fetch the content when I unfold it in watch panel. I would like to have this on the extension.
