Assists with changing type of structure member or local/global variable

Context menu "Recast item (R)"

Imagine you have pseudocode like this:

{
  type1 v1;
  type2 v2
  v2 = (type2)v1;
}

Right click on "v2" in the assignment statement and choose "Recast item" -- v2 will be converted to type "type1";
Right click on "v1" in the assignment statement and choose "Recast item" -- v1 will be converted to type "type2";

This operation available for a structure's members, local and global variables in the left side of assignment, after C-style typecast inside any expression, in pointer dereference expressions like *(_OWORD *)var and in argument of helper calls like BYTE(v1), LOBYTE, BYTE1, BYTE2, BYTE??, HIBYTE, ??WORD?, ??DWORD?, QWORD
