A basic gui hex-editor with vi bindings.
- Fast loading and editing of arbitrary large files.
- Fast cut/copy/paste.
- Looks good.
- Unlimited undo/redo.
- Fully written in Go.
It uses the packages:
- "giu" (https://github.com/AllenDang/giu) as a wrapper for imgui, the graphic libary.
- "filebuf" (https://github.com/snhmibby/filebuf) for fast file loading and editing.
- "filetree" (https://github.com/snhmibby/filetree) for an imgui file-system dialog.
The following operations are supported in the hex-window:
- left click: select byte with cursor.
- right click: edit menu popup.
- mouse dragging: select bytes.
- shift clicking: extends selection.
The following keys are bound (vi like)
- h,j,k,l: move around.
- arrow keys: move around.
- g: goto address
- i: insert mode (insert bytes before the cursor).
- o: overwrite mode (overwrite bytes).
- escape: normal mode (move around/editing operations).
- x: cut.
- y: copy.
- p: paste.
- u: undo.
- r: redo.
- goto address command
- search/replace
- configuration file
- simple data inspection & editing (integers, strings, floats, etc.)
- compound data inspection & editing (structs, lists, arrays, etc.)
- plugin functionality (written in go)

This software is (very much) in alpha version-state. It works for simple use cases, but don't try to do complicated things. I.e. there is a bug where copying from an edited file, pasting in another, then writing the edited (1st) file to disk, could potentially change the other file-view. So keep all your write-back-to disk edits to 1 file for now :)
