🛠️ ida-comments-list - Easily Manage Comments in IDA Pro

🚀 Overview

The IDA Comments List Plugin is a C++ tool designed for IDA Pro version 9.X. It helps users scan the disassembly database and creates a list of all comments found. This application includes features to filter out duplicate comments within functions, making it easier to focus on unique insights.
