The result of editing depends on whether the editor is in Insert or Overwrite mode. When the cursor is in the right area (character data) enter any character to edit the data. When the cursor is in the left area (hexadecimal data) enter a valid hexadecimal digit (0 to 9 or A to F) to edit the data. To edit data in the editor, position the cursor over the byte to edit. When the editor is in Overwrite mode (see Editing Data below) the cursor will be displayed as a thick vertical line and when the editor is in Insert mode the cursor will be displayed as a thin vertical line. When the Hex Editor Window is not focused, a vertical gray line, called the shadow cursor, will indicate where the cursor was located. Switch between areas by pressing the Tab key. When the cursor is in the left or right areas, the byte the cursor is currently over will be highlighted gray in the other area. Alternately, the cursor keys can be used to move the cursor (see Editor Keys below). Move the cursor with the mouse by clicking anywhere in the main display with the left mouse button. The cursor indicates the current position for inserting, deleting, or editing data. The editor can be changed to display data in a number of different formats and to modify how the Hex Editor Window displays data see Using Edit As.Ī cursor is displayed in the Hex Editor Window as a vertical, flashing line. At the top of the window a Ruler indicates the byte offsets from the address on that line. Each address indicates the file position of the first byte on the line. To the left of the Hex Editor Window is a list of addresses. At the far right of the editor by the scroll bar, the Mini Map displays the bytes of the file interpreted as a set of colors. By default, the left area displays the bytes of the file as a series of hexadecimal bytes and the right area displays the bytes as a series of characters (if a byte cannot be shown as a character a '.' will be displayed). The Hex Editor Window is divided into a left and a right area. Each file is displayed in a File Tab that displays a shortened form of the file name but the full file name can be viewed in the application title bar or in a hint popup displayed by placing the mouse cursor over the File Tab.

A Hex Editor Window is displayed for each binary file that is loaded in the editor. The Hex Editor Window (shown above) is the main method of viewing and editing binary files in 010 Editor (to edit text files see Using the Text Editor).
