There is no Replace ASCII mode

[i28v]

There is Append ASCII mode, Insert ASCII mode and just plain replace mode without ASCII, can you add this? Thanks.

Hi, thank you for your interest and report. I've added a patch on the develop branch. If you could check it out if and report back, then I can fully close the issue and merge it to master. The mode can be triggered with R (capital r, shift+r).

hx is definitely my favorite TUI hex editor. I liked it so much that I made an AUR package for it yesterday. However, there hasn't been a release of hx in 6 years, and it would be worth making a new release so that the packaged version has the Replace ASCII feature.

Thanks for the kind words. I just merged develop to master and tagged it as v1.0.13. See if that solves your issue.

And the reason for not having a release is because for my use-cases it has been feature complete. However, I'm all ears for feature requests and such :)

That's great! One more thing: Could you please add a note about the R key (capital R or Shift+R) to the README and :help screen as well?

Actually, I do have one more wishlist feature beyond that: In Vim, :wq writes the file and closes (:wq! also works). If it's too much trouble, I could try to implement that myself and send you a pull request.

Sure, I can look into it. Next time however, please make a new issue instead of responding to an already closed issue :)
