Change the text from "Add Offset" to "Add Pointer Level". It's far more clearer on what you're trying to portray there if you can change that.

I personally think that Offset makes more sense Rolling Eyes

Anyone who understands how pointers work would understand exactly what that button does by just pushing it, so I don't think it matters that much. However, I do agree that "Add Pointer Level" would be more descriptive with regards to what it does. Only adding an offset doesn't necessarily mean you're dereferencing that address as well.

When I was using it, the issue is that I thought "Add Offset" meant add and subtract the top pointer's value multiple times, not dereference, then add or subtract the offset.
