This is a mod of the Hex Editor extension for reverse engineering and analyzing binary files with added tag/annotation support.

Added functionality:

  • Add Tag command

Adds a tag at selection, provides an option to select color and caption for the tag.

  • Go To Tag command

Allows to select a tag from the list and jumps to its position.

  • Remove Tag command

Allows to select a tag from the list and removes it from the file.

  • Remove Tag At Selection command

If the selected byte is annotated by a tag, removes the tag.

  • Remove All Tags commands

Removes all tags from the file.

  • Offset and Tag fields in Data Inspector

This mod adds two more fields to the Data Inspector: Offset shows the offset of the selected byte, and Tag shows the caption of the tag, in which the selected byte is located, or "None" if the selected byte is not located inside any tag.


Data Inspector with added fields


  • Colorful tags

The mod allows to select a color for each tag for better visualization.
