I'm using the Mono dissector on Enter the Gungeon. When looking through Instances of Class search results, I get a H U G E list of instances (more than 100). Each instance has a bunch of methods (I'd guess more than 50). I can't find a search function in this window and since I can only highlight one line at a time, I can't select all to paste in a text editor to search there.
I've been than attaching a second instance of CE to the first instance of CE and searching for string, then padding spaces to the one string out of thousands I'm manually looking for while also using a keyboard macro to recursively expand the list of instances. This is a slow and hacky solution. Have I overlooked one of the M A N Y features in CE that make this a non-issue? I'm hoping someone can tell me a better way or DarkByte will see this and add a search function to the next release.

P.S. DarkByte, another feature to consider; When the website backend parses posts for URLs, it could also parse for [img][/img] to make the distinction between a new poster trying to post a URL or an image.

Well, I figured out part of the problem. I discovered I can hold shift+arrow keys to select more than one line at a time even though I can't ctrl+a to select all. I decided to write an AutoHotkey script so I could check for conditions and determine when all text has been selected. Unlike my macro mouse, ahk sends keystrokes at the software level and none of those were detected by CE. This means CE is intercepting keystrokes whenever it has focus. My question is why is that necessary?

the AHK issue is because windows blocks non-admin tools from messing with admin tools.
You need to run AHK as admin

Oof! It looks like ahk works fine with elevated permissions but I already deleted my code. Crying or Very sad

Oh well. I had a better idea since and will probably attempt to write it at some point. I'm going to have ahk evaluate each highlighted line and parse for my string. Much better than my original plan but harder to code (for me at least (I'm trash at programming)).
On one hand, I'd like to try my hand at writing a CE plugin to address this but on the other, failed programming attempts tend to make me hate programming and I don't want to hate programming.
Anyways, thanks Dark Byte.
