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)
