Vim hex buffer

Why not 'fidian/hexmode'?

• My plugin does not automatically convert binary buffers to hexadecimal
• Saving hexadecimal buffer does not change anything on the disk

Usage

1. Create/open the file you want to edit (binary mode is recommended)
2. Split the window or set bufhidden=hide or set hidden=on to prevent buffer unloading (important!)
3. Run :ToHexBuffer command
4. Make the changes in the hexadecimal buffer
5. Save the buffer (:w)

Buffer with the original file should update after hexadecimal buffer saving.

Dependencies

• xxd (shipped with regular Vim)
