In status bar, for now, Cursor offset is represented in an hexadecimal value, which is not very natural when you work with hexe values.
Adding an option to show it as NNNmal would be interesting.

I said NNNmal, because... well, every boring hexadecimal editor allows to show it as decimal, octal or hexadecimal values, but no one allows to choose the base representation of the offset, when it would not cost a lot more and could allow some more powerful representations ( just rely on user's imagination for that ). *
Same for offsets column.

*: ok, that could not be very useful to let the user choose the number basis, but it would simply imply to write only one function for every representation, plus it would give the user the ability to do stupid things without dramatic consequences ( if some limits are configured ).

    It's also implemented.
    If you switch to octal,decimal modes or sector+decimal modes.

    You can switch it by right clicking to address area of the file. You will see that cursor offset location will be changed also..

    (Currently you need to move cursor once to make changes effective on status bar. Looks like little bug over there...)
