Globally detecting mouse clicks.
Hooks are a low-level Win 32 API and are not directly exposed from the BCL, so you either need to write your own P/Invoke code (maybe using something like https://github.com/dotnet/pinvoke)

Ask any question about ReSharper or Rider: Q&A session with JetBrains
I'm using the PInvoke libraries (cf. https://github.com/dotnet/pinvoke/). And if my mouse hovers a split of a second over PInvoke.User32 or even worse PInvoke.Kernel32, VS will freeze for 2 minutes trying to render the very big summary of those classes.

PInvoke.net: the interop wiki
I came across Vanara not long ago, very comprehensive library set to avoid importing/declaring everything yourself: dahall/Vanara: A set of .NET libraries for Windows implementing PInvoke calls to many native Windows APIs with supporting wrappers.

Looking for ideas about securing automated scripts.
This is an advanced concept and should be contemplated if you feel confortable with C# programming. You can extend the Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI). Check the development documentation. Use Vanara to extend the functionality.

Should you use c# for memory manipulation
I have a lot of C# P/Invoke / interop experience. Almost everything is possible in C#, I swear. Just keep in mind that C/C++ users have Windows.h include (meta-include which references thousands of another useful includes) that contain every single public fuction, structure or enum definition, i. e. you just go ahead and use it (while having to link against necessary libs correctly ofc). When you do the same thing in C# you have to P/Invoke through all this stuff by yourself. Consider taking a look at Vanara.PInvoke (https://github.com/dahall/Vanara), these packages might help you a lot in case you do not want to dive that deep.

One Commander – a new Windows 10 file browser
Interesting that it was built in .Net and appears to be using WPF with a few improvements[1].
It also refers to Vanara[2] which looks interesting as a safe utility wrapper to the Windows API.
