Pseudocode

The options below appear when the Edit menu is opened from the Pseudocode View. In other views, the menu adapts dynamically and may show a different set of options.

Below is an overview of all actions that can be accessed from this menu.

Offset by (any segment)...	OpAnyOffset	Convert the current operand to an offset in any segment.
Offset (user-defined)...	OpUserOffset	Convert the current operand to an offset with any base.
Offset (struct)...	OpStructOffset	Convert the current operand to a structure offset.
Number (default)	OpNumber	Convert the current operand to a number.
Hexadecimal	OpHex	Convert the current operand to a hexadecimal number.
Decimal	OpDecimal	Convert the current operand to a decimal number.
Octal	OpOctal	Convert the current operand to a octal number.
Binary	OpBinary	Convert the current operand to a binary number.
Floating point	OpFloat	Convert to floating point.
Toggle leading zeroes	ToggleLeadingZeroes	Toggle leading zeroes.
Character	OpChar	Convert the current operand to a character constant
Segment	OpSegment	Convert the current operand to a segment base
Enum member...	OpEnum	Convert the current operand to a symbolic constant
Stack variable	OpStackVariable	Convert the current operand to a stack variable
Change sign	ChangeSign	Change the sign of the current operand
Bitwise negate	BitwiseNegate	Perform bitwise negation of the current operand
Manual...	ManualOperand	Enter the current operand manually.
Set operand type...	SetOpType	Set the current operand's type
Edit func comment...	hx:EditCmt
Add pseudocode comments...	hx:AddPseudoCmt
Delete pseudocode comments...	hx:DelPseudoCmt
Enter comment...	MakeComment	Enter a regular comment.
Enter repeatable comment...	MakeRptCmt	Enter repeatable comment.
Enter anterior lines...	MakeExtraLineA	Enter lines preceding the generated lines.
Enter posterior lines...	MakeExtraLineB	Enter lines following the generated lines
Edit block comment...	mv:EditBlockCmt
Edit comment...	mv:EditCmt
Create segment...	CreateSegment	This command allows you to create a new segment.
Edit segment...	EditSegment	Edit segment attributes. This command opens the Change segment attributes dialog.
Delete segment...	KillSegment	Delete segment.
Move current segment...	MoveSegment	Change the current segment boundaries.
Rebase program...	RebaseProgram	Rebase program.
Change segment translation...	SegmentTranslation	Change the current segment translation table
Change segment register value...	SetSegmentRegister	Change segment register value.
Set default segment register value...	SetSegmentRegisterDefault	Set default segment register value.
Struct var...	DeclareStructVar	Declare a structure variable.
Force zero offset field	ZeroStructOffset	Toggle display of the first field of a structure in an offset expression.
Select union member...	SelectUnionMember	Choose the representation of a union member.
Create struct from selection	CreateStructFromData	This command defines a new structure from data already defined. The new structure is created with adequate data types, and each member uses the current data name if it is available.
Copy field info to pointers	CopyFieldsToPointers	Copy field info to pointed addresses. This command scans the current struct variable and renames the locations pointed by offset expressions unless they already have a non-dummy name.
Create function...	MakeFunction	Create a new function in the disassembly.
Edit function...	EditFunction	Edit function attributes - change function properties, including bounds, name, flags, and stack frame parameters. This command opens an Edit Function dialog, and allows you to modify function characteristics and stack frame structure. If the current address does not belong to any function, IDA will beep.
Append function tail...	AppendFunctionTail	This command appends an arbitrary range of the program to a function definition. A range must be selected before applying this command. This range must not intersect with other function chunks (however, an existing tail can be added to multiple functions).
Remove function tail...	RemoveFunctionTail	Remove function tail.
Delete function	DelFunction	Delete function. Deleting a function deletes only information about a function, such as information about stack variables, comments, function type, etc. The instructions composing the function will remain intact.
Move to folder...	MoveFunctionToFolder	This is the listing-specific version of the tree view's similar operation, and lets you conveniently organize your database directly from IDA View-*, Pseudocode-* and Microcode-* widgets, without having to go through the "Functions" widget.
Set function end	FunctionEnd	Change the function end address. This command changes the current or previous function bounds so that its end will be set at the cursor. If it is not possible, IDA beeps.
Stack variables...	OpenStackVariables	Open the stack variables window. See subviews for more.
Change stack pointer...	ChangeStackPointer	Change stack pointer. This command allows you to specify how the stack pointer (SP) is modified by the current instruction.
Rename register...	RenameRegister	Rename a general processor register.
Set type...	SetType	Set type information for an item or current function.
Change byte...	PatchByte	Change program bytes.
Change word...	PatchWord	Change program words
Assemble...	Assemble	This command allows you to assemble instructions. Currently, only the IBM PC processors provide an assembler, nonetheless, plugin writers can extend or totally replace the built-in assembler by writing their own.
Patched bytes	PatchedBytes	Open the Patched bytes window. The Patched bytes view shows the list of the patched locations in the database. It also allows you to revert modifications selectively.
Apply patches to input file...	ApplyPatches	Apply previously patched bytes back to the input file. If the "Restore" option is selected, then the original bytes will be applied to the input file.
Specify switch idiom...	uiswitch:SpecSwitchIdiom
Create alignment directive...	MakeAlignment	Create alignment directive.
Manual instruction...	ManualInstruction	Specify alternate representation of the current instruction.
Color instruction...	ColorInstruction	This command allows you to specify the background color for the current instruction or data item.
Reset decompiler information...	hx:ResTypeInfo
Toggle skippable instructions...	hx:ToggleSkippableInsn
Decompile as call...	hx:UserDefinedCall
Toggle border	ToggleBorder	Toggle the display of a border between code and data.
detect and parse golang metadata	golang:detect_and_parse
Open picture in default viewer	picture_search:open_in_viewer
Save picture	picture_search:save_picture
Quick run plugins	QuickRunPlugins	Quickly run a plugin
