I complained about hexeditors recently. Now I found TeeHee, and I think I'll stick with it on all platforms:

Edit: Since this took off somewhat, I'd note that I found the editor in this list: https://github.com/merces/awesome-hex-editors <- give it some love <3

@buherator Installed. Love it. Thanks!

@buherator Oh cool I was looking for a better hex editor on Linux that would let me paste text as hex data rather than as ASCII text. Let me go and oh it's terminal based nevermind :(

@buherator this one looks great! I’ll have to give it a try.

I’ve recently been trying ddhx when needed, and it seems like a really good base with features coming out semi regularly. But I don’t live in a hex editor *too* extensively recently, so it’s hard to evaluate/learn it properly

@techokami I'm not sure that's a TUI/GUI issue: I've been struggling with Linux clipboards since forever. Someone suggested to sync different clipboards using clipnotify that works quite well, maybe it'll be useful for you too:

(I can share the script I use too if needed)

@brk A lot depends on your regular use cases for sure. For me static binaries for all platforms and Vim-like syntax that Just Works(tm) for the simple editing tasks is exactly what I'm looking for.

@buherator It's not a clipboard issue. Okteta has the right GUI design, but pasting into the hex region will instead paste it into the ASCII region, which is a known limitation. GHex doesn't have this problem but is too GNOME to be a usable program. And nearly everything else is either bitrotted away from neglect or wildly over-engineered.

@techokami I just tested this: in teehee you press (i, ctrl+o) to enter hex-insert mode, then shift+insert pastes as hex.

not here to sell anything though, you do you!

@buherator yeah sorry, not going to sell me on a TUI hex editor. I read the instructions, the amount of keyboard commands I would need to memorize made me go NOPE

@buherator I'm glad it has been useful, thank you for the kind words. Maybe I'll try and find time to continue development one of these days (:

@aleksi Thanks for your work! Keep in mind that it's OK to declare software finished - I'll complain when I find any bugs :)
