Description
With, https://github.com/runtimeverification/kontrol/pull/503 we add support for the hex encoding in the view-kcfg TUI. In addition to this, there is also the --use-hex-encoding flag that will enable the hex encoding in kontrol show.
Now the next step is to set the hex encoding active by default, replacing --use-hex-encoding with --no-use-hex-encoding.
In addition to this, I can confirm that the use of the hex encoding in pretty_print does not interfere with the kontrol show --to-module feature, used in CSE.

Research direction
Start by tracing the kontrol show command and its --use-hex-encoding option, then inspect how pretty_print handles encoding and how --to-module is used. The change is complete when hex encoding is the default, the opt-out flag is available, and kontrol show --to-module continues to work.
