Byte/offset navigation for large binaries

Nobody has claimed this yet.

Attempting to examine large quantities of data (gigabytes) is cumbersome since most of the display views work in lines of 256 bits, so it would be very handy to be able to know the byte offset within the data (perhaps a bar across all data views indicating the current location) and to be able to easily jump to a specific offset (not necessarily a known bit of data, just a specific position). This may already be achievable using one of the modes of existing plugins, but it wasn't self-evident or easily accessible (in the program or in the help). At the moment the process seems to require choosing the rough location in the overview of the data and then scrolling (possibly large amounts, with very big data files) to find the wanted location (after having calculated the line number needed from the offset).

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the existing data views, overview navigation, and plugin or help modes; determine how offsets and scrolling are currently represented. Done means users can see their byte position and jump directly to a specified offset in large binary data.
