Any way to be able to set something so during debugging we can see all the variables like a var_dump to another window or something?

I use FireBug + FirePHP for this. It lets you analyze any var, object, or array with FB::log( $var, 'label' );

There's a FirePHP plugin for WordPress. I use an internal plugin that includes it (if that one doesn't work.)

Most the the engineers at 10up use PHPStorm, which lets you go even further by pausing code while its executing, then analyzing the state of variables at that point.
