Hello!

Is there a hotkey to open the Pointer Scanner window?

Quite often I just want to open a previous scan and resume the search, so I find quite silly to have to search for anything, put that anything into the watch list, right click it, and then finally being able to open the pointer scanner window.

Having something like "Open Pointer Scanner" in CE menu would also be nice!

Thanks!

Hold down ctrl and then type mpo to open a poiterscan result, or mpp to setup a new scan

Through Memory Viewer is indeed a faster way; it is good enough for me.

Thanks for letting me know!

...on a side question, does the Pointer Scanner window support tabs like the normal scan does? At times my screen gets a little too crowded with many pointer scan windows open.

Here's a lua script you can put in the autorun folder of ce: (or just manually execute once)

Your lua script worked great, that was exactly what I wanted: a direct hotkey and an entry in the menu for mouse laziness (or in case of forgetting the hotkey). Thanks a lot!

As for the multiple windows in the pointer scanner, it is for the latter.

Even though I only scan one at a time, I usually keep many windows opened for different address searches, so when one ends scanning I just put the next one to scan. That way I do not have to select previous result files to load in between scans; everything is always "ready".

The only issue when using the minimize approach is that the title in minimized windows get truncated before the current file name and thus look all the same ("Pointer scan..."). But eh, it is no big deal at all.
