Research direction

Start by locating the implementation of the linear and hex views and their existing display settings. Add a user-controlled option for byte markers above each hex view, matching the offsets shown in the example, and verify that the markers can be toggled without changing the underlying data view.

Description

Component: UI Effort: Low Impact: Low UI: Hex Editor

I would like to see byte markers on top of any hex view to help me know where a specific byte/byte sequence is

Example:

   00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07  # this line
00 de ad be ef ca fe ba be
08 ...
