configurable hex viewer/editor

To run use:

hexhog <file>

Current limitations:

• loads whole file into memory

To do:

• add selections
• add copy/paste
• add find

If you have cargo installed, just run:

cargo install hexhog

I hope I can make this tool available on other package managers soon.

Configuration file is located at:

• Linux: /home/user/.config/hexhog/config.toml
• Windows: C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\hexhog\config.toml
• MacOS: /Users/user/Library/Application Support/hexhog/config.toml

An example configuration file:

[theme]
null = "dark_gray"
ascii_printable = "blue"
ascii_whitespace = [67, 205, 128] # rgb
ascii_other = 162 # ansi
non_ascii = "red"
accent = "blue"
primary = "green"
background = "black"
border = "cyan"

[charset]
null = "."
ascii_whitespace = "·"
ascii_other = "°"
non_ascii = "×"
