Description
Issue Type: Bug
When halting any Go program under debugger dlv, the Variables and Watch panes in the Run and Debug panel show variables using their full, absolute type preceding its current value. With many nested packages, it makes values hard to see without expanding each individually.
You can see in the attached screenshot that the entire Variables list is useless – it redundantly shows only the path prefix for local types defined in the current package being debugged.
Is there any way to define the formatting for the watch/local variables? Or is there a way to modify how it shows the type?
For example, the language server gopls has a configuration option that narrows type paths:
"gopls": {
"formatting.local": "github.com/ardnew"
// Project-specific settings.json can narrow the scope further, e.g.:
//"formatting.local": "github.com/ardnew/bases"
}If the debugger can refer to that, great; otherwise, could a similar option in the Go extension's settings be added to copy this behavior?
