Include Modify Note in Data Browser

I find myself wanting quickly to add or modify notes to waves when doing an overview in the Data Browser.

The code below will modify the Data Browser such that a control-click/right-click menu includes a command to Modify Note on waves. Execute the command ModifyMyBrowser() in the command line, then open the Data Browser and control/right-click on a wave to see the additional menu item(s).

Function ModifyMyBrowser()

    string brCmd, theStr = "ModifyWaveNote(%s)"
    brCmd = "CreateBrowser"
    Execute brCmd
    brCmd = "ModifyBrowser userlevel=8"
    Execute brCmd
    sprintf brCmd, "ModifyBrowser userMenu=\"Modify Note\", userMenuCommand=\"%s\"", theStr
    Execute brCmd
    brCmd = "ModifyBrowser close"
    Execute brCmd
    return 0
end

Function ModifyWaveNote(thewave)
    wave thewave
   
    string theNote, theHelp, theMenuStr
    variable theWay
   
    theHelp = "Change the wave note with this. Replace With Text clears and puts new. "
        theHelp += "Clear All Text will delete the entire wave note!"
    theMenuStr = "Append Text;Pre-pend Text;Replace With Text;Clear All Text!;"

    prompt theWay, "Modify the note by ", popup, theMenuStr
    prompt theNote, "Text: "
    doprompt/HELP=theHelp "Modify Wave Note", theWay, theNote
   
    if (!V_flag)
        switch(theWay)
            case 1:
                note thewave, theNote
                break
            case 2:
                theNote = theNote + "\r" + note(thewave)
                note/K thewave
                note thewave, theNote
                break
            case 3:
                note/K thewave
                note thewave, theNote
                break
            case 4:
                note/K thewave
                break
        endswitch
    endif
    return 0
end
