is it possible to mark a function for debugging without jumping to the definition first?

nevermind, now using this:

(defun my/cider-debug-var-at-point ()
  (interactive)
  (save-excursion
    (cider-find-var)
    (cider-debug-defun-at-point)))

We never implemented some completing selection of all vars, it would have been a nice way to solve your issue.

I guess we can also add something like this to the ns browser.

What all would it take to font-lock “```clj” blocks in docstrings?
