About editing the 'variable' window? I've not used it much. After changing the value, you have to press enter. Does it update if you type the value in the Data Memory window?

What's the point of a "debugger" if you cannot change values on the fly?

No idea. I'll give it a try when I'm back playing. But, even if I could, it would be pretty useless if I cannot view and modify "variables" by both name and type.

I agree. I've used it with C to modify variables. I needed to 'pause' the debugger before changing values, then 'continue'.
EDIT: add screen shots of debugger changing leds on/off on a board while connected to a phone via BLE.
