Hex mode

Submitted by Anonymous on Tuesday, 21 September, 2004 - 17:44

I know that there's a hex plugin. But it just doesn't cut it. All it seems to do is allow you to load a file so that its contents are displayed in hex.

You shouldn't have to load a file, as the plugin makes you do - you should be able to toggle the display of any buffer back and forth from normal mode to hex mode, with just a simple built-in menu option and/or hotkey.

You should be able to edit the file; the plugin doesn't seem to allow you to. You should be able to edit the file both via the left-side hex display and via the right-side ASCII display.

yes,that is what I need.Jedit

This is the one feature that I from the top of my head can think of that JEdit really lacks. This is a great feature, especially as good hex editors are sparse.

Here's a macro to address you

Here's a macro to address your first complaint:

void hexDump(View view)
{
    vfs = VFSManager.getVFSByName("hex");
    if(vfs == null)
    {
        Macros.error(view, "Hex plugin must be installed.");
        return;
    }
    else if(vfs.getName().equals("hex"))
    {
        Macros.error(view, "You're already looking at the hex.");
    }
    else
    {
        jEdit.openFile(view, "hex:" + view.getBuffer().getPath());
    }
}

hexDump(view);

You can always modify it to toggle back and forth if that's your desired behavior. For editing, try the HexEdit plugin. As for the current situation "doesn't cut it", the code for both the hex plugins are in jEdit's CVS repository. I'm sure others would appreciate it if you added the features you proposed -- you're not the first to request them.
