Description

I can't see where my selection in disassembly view corresponds in hex view. Putting an indicator for it (blinking cursor? selection?) would be useful.

I also think that multiple line selection should also indicate it in hex view by multiple bytes selection.

Selecting one byte in hex view also show me my selection in disassembly view, but multiple selection does not work.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating synchronized-selection handling for the disassembly and hex views, then verify single- and multi-byte or line selections in both directions; done means the corresponding bytes or disassembly selection is visibly indicated in each view.
