Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Trying to use environment variables is pretty difficult, and we never know if a variable is successfully attached to the request

Describe the solution you'd like
If there was some kind of checking with underline or changing text color it would be much easier to identify wrong env. variables

Describe alternatives you've considered
Insomnia Rest does smth like this, as shown in the screenshot

I totally agree, in Insomnia it hardly took any time to figure out how env variables work but in postwoman, it is a bit difficult.
I have created an env with few variables but still not able to figure out how to make any env active.

Got it. Since envs are used inline inside an input box (URL field), it's quite hard to list / highlight registered envs from input. I tried to parse URL input with some regex to show registered envs in a tooltip but had no luck with it. Will try another method. Let me know if there's any UI wise implementation that could tackle this. May be like auto-complete for envs?
