Command to toggle pry-state

[justin808]

Super useful extension!

However, I'd like the ability to toggle this when debugging.

What do you think? @SudhagarS?

Thanks @justin808.
I have plans to add some commands to have control over how values are displayed.
Think I will add a command for this too.

@SudhagarS Sweet, let me know, and I'll try on the gem or directly from your repo. Check out my company's open source at https://github.com/shakacode/ and let me know if you need any help!

Just few days ago I came to the same question.
You make so useful screen at the breakpoint, so, it will be great to be able to call it

[SudhagarS]

@kvokka I tried doing it few months ago but put it off as it required digging into pry. Anyway I will take a fresher look at it sooner and let you know.

@SudhagarS Thank you. I've done the same yet. As variant, you may run binding.pry inside debugger session.

Any updates on this? I'm willing to help on this feature, just let me know what the parameters are (if any) and I'll get to it

I have a fork with two commands:

1. show-state which just shows the state of the current binding (as if it had been toggled)
2. toggle-state which turns on and off the automatic display.

Since show-state is available as a command now, it made sense to me to turn off the hook by default. I also updated the README with information.

When I have some time, I will write tests for the commands and changes, and submit a pull request.

I added PR #10 for this, with test coverage now. 👍
