Testing Steps:

1. Install this VSIX
   hexeditor-1.0.0.zip (Just change the .zip to .vsix)
2. Test opening various files as hex via the reopen with dialog / setting the hex editor as your default editor for that file type.
3. Test arrow key navigation, scrolling, clicking etc within the editor.
4. Test changing the endianness of the Data inspector.
5. Try changing the maxFileSize setting and ensuring it warns you for files over the maxFileSize you have specified.

Just overall ensure the editor feels natural to use and everything is working how you would expect it to.

This totally fails for me due to eb09996

Also, maybe instead of giving us a ZIP, let us just clone the repo, build it, so we test what's on latest.

I'll have to ask @mjbvz what changed. We tested it yesterday and it was working, but I believe he was doing some API work after I got off. I figured a VSIX would be easier than compiling from sources. It doesn't compile from sources anymore either. The VSIX is up to date with latest.

[lramos15]

I have updated the VSIX by using the types from sources as we're in this weird limbo where they're not in proposed, but not in the shipped types just yet. The VSIX should work and you no longer need the proposed API flag. Let me know if it doesn't.

It works as documented above. The only concern I have is the scrolling performance, especially when using mouse/trackapd and blank frames are fairly easy to see.
