Indeed the ability to evaluate expressions on the fly, and to just generally mutate the stack at runtime, is VERY handy for testing and debugging. And just this week I saw this article over on JetBrains for <a href="http://blogs.jetbrains.com/idea/2009/09/debugger-evaluate-expression-enhancements/" rel="nofollow">Debugger Evaluate Expression Enhancements</a> - so it's just going to keep getting better it looks like.

A useful extension to the debugger 'log expression' breakpoint facility is that not only can you evaluate expressions and output the results, but you can call methods and assign results to program variables, allowing you to temporarily 'fix' problems or try 'what-if' scenarios on-the-fly while debugging, without stopping or having to hack your code, and still get full console logging of exactly what you did. The alt-F8 debugger expression evaluator dialog allows you to execute whole chunks of code while debugging, and can also change program variable values, but needs you to be stopped at a breakpoint.

I am however on a Mac, which might be the difference. And I'm pretty sure I picked on that cmd+shift+a from the IntelliJ dev blogs - all the secret goodies to squeeze productivity out of the platform. :) No changes to the defaults – at least not any that I can remember doing offhand.

Have you changed the default keyboard shortcuts? By default Alt-Insert will show the code generation options. Nice article, though. I didn't know about ctrl+shift+a. Ctrl-n?
