The `Mark Type` dialog is non-intuitive and needs improvement
uxmal opened this issue · comments
Although the basic functionality is there, it is hard to understand how to use it (#1286) Here are some suggestions:
Add a prompting text, such as
Enter the data type and name for the selected memory address. Use
- C syntax
- Rust syntax
- Reko Hungarian syntax
Followed by a textbox where the user can enter their declaration.
Also, make it possible to discover that a piece of data has a type, by hovering over it, you should see a tooltip with the data type for a given blob of memory. Naturally, selecting the Mark Type
command should allow you to edit previously entered data. Finally, there should be a way to delete user-entered annotations (see #1218)
