In LV 2010 the string constant display style is a nice new addition based on the ideas here and here.
The implementation is consistent with how the radix indicator works on numeric constants in that you must navigate to the visible items shortcut menu and turn them on discretely.
If I want to take a string constant, show it in '\' format and turn on the descriptor, it requires two separate operations.
I propose that the descriptor (or radix for numeric constants) be automatically shown when displaying any mode other than the default.
Not only would this add to the readability of these constants but would eliminate the extra step to have to discretely show this valuable piece of self documentation.
If the developer did not want the descriptor shown, they they could manually turn it off.
