Re: [ jEdit-devel ] HexEdit plugin

[Dale A. <da...@ge...>]

The features of a hex editor that I use most often are:

Search for hex pattern or ascii string.
Go to a specific offset, with the ability to choose the offset in 
decimal or hex.
Display offset from beginning of file to the current cursor position.
Length (in bytes) of selected bytes.
Decimal/octal/binary equivalent (select 1, 2, 4, or 8 bytes and see the 
decimal/octal/binary value)
Undo!
Ability to edit either the hex display or the ascii display and editing 
either updates the other.
A hex calculator would be a nice touch.

Mostly I use khexedit, the hex editor that comes with most KDE 
distributions. You could spend a lot of time adding features to this!
