| Apr 12, 2018 at 15:40 | comment | added | Stefan | @forthrin: Alright, alright, I just added a nhexl-nibble-edit-mode to my nhexl-mode package (available from GNU ELPA, the new version should appear there soon). | |
| Apr 12, 2018 at 12:18 | comment | added | forthrin | @Stefan: Glad to hear you agree. It could be a setting (hexl-mode-nibble-navigation). At least now, I can manipulate hex data like a breeze. Would be great if it made it into the core too! | |
| Apr 12, 2018 at 12:02 | comment | added | Stefan | @forthrin: There's clearly room for improvement, indeed. I think that changing the code to move by nibbles and update nibbles directly would make it much better. | |

| Apr 12, 2018 at 6:59 | comment | added | forthrin | Seems to work! It feels a bit awkward that nothing prints until you've entered both nibbles. Can this be helped? Example: Enter first nibble: Set and printed; Cursor highlights second nibble. A) User enters second nibble: Set and printed; Cursor moves to next byte. B) If user moves cursor instead of entering second nibble: Cursor simply moves to first nibble of cursor destination. PS! One could also discuss whether general cursor navigation always should move in nibbles. I'm used to this from low level environments, but the current behaviour (moving in bytes) isn't a major nuisance. | |
