These actions are accessible either from the top menu bar or through context menus. {% hint style="info" %} To explore which actions are available from the top menu bar for each view, refer to [Menu Bar Actions](/ida-9.3/core/user-interface/reference/menu-bar-actions.md). {% endhint %} Most actions are context-sensitive and are only available when the cursor is positioned on specific elements. ## Pseudocode Actions Below is an overview of all decompiler-related actions available in the Pseudocode Actions. | UI Action Name | Action Name | Description | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | [Add empty line](/ida-9.3/ida-actions/hx_addemptyline.md) | `hx:AddEmptyLine` | | | [Add pseudocode comments...](/ida-9.3/ida-actions/hx_addpseudocmt.md) | `hx:AddPseudoCmt` | Add pseudocode comments. | | [Add variadic argument](/ida-9.3/ida-actions/hx_addvararg.md) | `hx:AddVarArg` | Add an argument of a variadic call. | | [Bitwise negate](/ida-9.3/ida-actions/hx_bitwisenegate.md) | `hx:BitwiseNegate` | | | [Char](/ida-9.3/ida-actions/hx_char.md) | `hx:Char` | Switch to character constant representation.

GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.hex-rays.com/ida-9.3/core/decompiler/reference/decompiler-actions.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
