Bug Description:
The following keys don't work when selecting variables in the IL views
'd' - cycle integer size
'-' - invert integer sign
'f' - cycle float size
'1', '2', '4', '8' - Set integer size
'o' - make pointer (this works on integer tokens but not variable tokens)

Research direction
Start by reproducing the listed hot-key failures when selecting variables in the linear and graph IL views. Trace the variable-selection handling for d, -, f, 1/2/4/8, and o, comparing it with integer-token handling where pointer conversion works. Done means each listed key applies its documented change to selected variables.
