How can I increase the size of the string that IDE debugger visualizer can display?

How can I increase the size of the string that IDE debugger visualizer can display? At the moment the limit is 2K (I think).

I am thinking in finding the source code for the current string visualizer and modifying it to show more lines and registering it as a new visualizer. Is this the correct or the cumbersome solution?

That source code is not available to you. It's buried in the bowels of the IDE's debugger. As I see it your options are:

  1. Modify the existing visualizer at runtime, for instance using a detour.
  2. Replacing the visualizer with one that serves your needs.
