Inspired by Vim, Kakoune and Hiew.
Reverse engineers, software engineers and other IT people often need to work with binary files. Hex editors are usually the go-to tool for dealing with binary file formats when a more specialized tool isn't available. Many of the existing hex editors lack support for modal editing, which Vim/Kakoune/Emacs users will miss. Hiew supports it to an extent, but it's non-free software, and its keybinds are unintuitive. Teehee is designed to offer a native-feeling experience to Kakoune and Vim users, while also providing additional hex editing capabilities like coloured marks for regions of data and encryption/compression scripts.
Teehee supports multiple selections, efficient selection modifying commands and various data editing operations.
hjkl for movement (press shift to extend selection instead)
^
< h j l >
k
v
g[hjkl] for jumping (G[hjkl] to extend selection instead)
h: to line startl: to line endk: to file startj: to file end; to collapse selections to cursors<a-;> (alt and ;) to swap cursor and selection end<a-s> (alt and s) to split selection to multiple selections of size...
b: 1 Bytew: 2 bytes (Word)d: 4 bytes (Dword)q: 8 bytes (Qword)o: 16 bytes (Oword)d to delete selected data from bufferi to enter insert mode at the beginning of selections (I to insert ascii instead of hex)
a instead of i to enter append mode insteadc instead of i to delete selection contents, then enter insert mode<c-n> to insert a null byte in ascii mode<c-o> to switch between ascii and hex inserting( and ) to cycle main selection<space> to keep only main selection, <a-space> to keep all selections but mainr<digit><digit> to replace a each selected character with the character given by the two hex digits
R<key> instead of r to replace with a single ascii character insteadr<c-n> to replace with null bytesy to yank/copy selections to register "p to paste register " contents from y/d/c
