\fBKHexEdit\fP is an editor for the raw data of binary files. It includes find/replace functions, bookmarks, many configuration options, drag and drop support and other powerful features.
.sp1
When a document is opened, the bytes are displayed in hexadecimal format in the data editor window. The data can be edited, cut, copied, pasted, dragged and dropped much as text is in an text editor or word processor. A cursor marks the current position. Pressing the Insert key toggles between overwrite and insert text entry modes. The data can also be displayed as octal, binary or decimal values, by choosing the desired format in the View menu.
.sp1
The offset column on the left indicates the position of a particular byte in the file. The text field on the right displays the ASCII encoding of the file. The cursor position and edits in the data editor window are reflected in the text field. The text field can also be edited, and those changes are reflected in the data editor window.
.sp1
The search bar allows the user to search for a specific value \-\- hexadecimal, octal, binary, decimal or text.
.sp1
The conversion field displays the value of the byte at the cursor position in a variety of bases. It also displays the value of all standard data types starting at the cursor.

Multiple documents can be open at the same time but only one can be active. Use the Documents menu to select which document will be active.
