Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
VSCode provides a mechanism to launch a memory viewer for certain items in the Variables/Watch panels. It users its own HexEditor to provide the visualization. There is no user-level customization provided by VSCode to change which extension/visualizer/editor should be used to display the memory contents. We have been in discussion s with Microsoft for over a year and got many votes but there is no interest from them in providing such a customization.
To launch a memory viewer, this is the button in the Variable/Watch panels I was referring to. The button on the far right that looks like binary data
Describe the solution you'd like
As a stopgap, could we detect a new HexEditor being launched and convert that into a view in the memory panel?
Describe alternatives you've considered
Tried to get the HexEditor to be more debugger-friendly, so this extension is not even needed. 2+ years and here we are. It is focused on editing files
