Overview: Firebug has an "Add Watch" function that is extremely helpful. In Firebug, when you are inspecting JavaScript, you can highlight a variable, contextual click, and select "Add Watch." All this does is save developers the trouble of copy/pasting the text of the variable and adding it to the Watch column. It's a time saver. I would like to request that similar functionality be implemented into WebKit. (Side note: This is my first feature request. If I am submitting it incorrectly, please let me know.)
