Description

I opened binary file and I look function "gudeSendRequest....."

Here what I seed in Hopper Disassembler:

First, he writes the original (mangled) name of the function, which is written directly in the binary, and then writes the human-readable (de-mangled) name of the function.

But here what show me Binary Ninja 5.2:
only de-mangled name

How can I see the original (mangled) and de-mangled names of the symbols next to each other?
Or maybe I can use a keyboard shortcut to switch the display between mangled/de-mangled titles?
