I, uh, actually kind of like the idea. If you just visually converted primitives to a toggle after you type true/false, and let you delete it like any other text, it could be a small convenience on any flags you might change during the development process.
As long as it’s not literally a toggle that you can interact with.
I can only imagine the horrors of accidentally clicking in the editor while selecting some text and quietly changing certificateIsValid = false; to true or something like that.
Oh, I could easily see a trainwreck of an implementation. But if this was just a display option like color coding keywords and variables, but you could click to change the underlying true/false? I might add it.

certificateIsValid = false;totrueor something like that.Nah, make it a keybind like alt-shift-click and give it a deafening sound like throwing an industrial breaker.
As a visual indicator, sure.

Beatiful. Magnificent indeed
To actual posisble implementations, it’d actually be interesting as an indicator next to the bool to make it easier to see when debugging
I mean this as a joke but you might be right. A quick search suggests that no one implemented something like this yet.
