Adding Prompt for Variables (autocomplete)
Description: Variables, both global and local, are very useful in BugBug. To make them easier to use, I suggest that when the user starts typing {{, BugBug prompts them with any variables that are currently defined. It would be preferable if the local variables (that are built into the test) could be presented first with color, and the global variables could be shown next, so the user can pick the variable quickly.
The importance of this modification of the variable use is that in daily use, the user may work on a project that includes tens of variables, in addition to those included in the test. So the user may not remember the variable names, and they would have to navigate to the variable section and copy and return to the test step to paste the variable. Alternatively, they could list the names in text. Both ways are time-consuming, so the suggestion could make using variables easier.
Even though Postman app deals with other types of testing, there are similar options you can review for the use of variables at the link: https://learning.postman.com/docs/sending-requests/variables/. You can see the section “Using Variables” for more information.

@Haian Abou-Karam Thank you for the idea. We had that on our internal roadmap, so sooner or later we will implement this ;)
