Request for Hex editing

[abbychau]

That post had been a year ago #62005 .

but here is no hex editing mode in marketplace yet. The best thing we can get is an extension called hexdump for VSCode (slevesque.vscode-hexdump) , but it is read-only and not convenient to use as a view and lack of viewing options too.

I am not to blame that extension because it did a great work to a least enabling basic viewing, but I think it is good to have official support of a Hex editor for people to edit binary files.

We try to keep VS Code lean and we think the functionality you're asking for is great for a VS Code extension. Maybe you can already find one that suits you in the VS Code Marketplace. Just in case, in a few simple steps you can get started writing your own extension. See also our issue reporting guidelines.

Happy Coding!
