Show value of readonly/const on hover
I would like to be able to see the assigned value of readonly and const fields/properties/variables when hovering over them with the mouse. I can't find any setting for this; is it possible?

You can hover and check the const values in the editor by default. For example:
But for readonly fields or variables, it could be computational properties, you cannot inspect the values in editor.
It works for built-ins like Math.PI, but not for my own readonly/constants (regardless of whether they are static or in static classes). I tried with readonly int and float in various scopes. What do you mean when you say “you cannot inspect the values in editor”?
Constants will not be modified in the code context, thus IDE can provide a preview.
For variable declaration, the IDE doesn't support preview because it could be a computational property.
Could you provide me a sample and screenshot of inspecting the constants in your IDE?
OK, I see. It works for const, but not readonly.
