Is it possible to add a simple Edit Value function?

WelliSolutions commented 3 years ago

At a first glance this really sounds trivial. This application was made for files with gigabytes in size. This can also mean that the value you want to edit can be some MB of size. At the moment I'm truncating very long strings. I'd need to consider line wrapping etc. This would probably involve calculating pixel length of text, which gets slow soon.

Long text values may cause all kind of trouble like other editors have like Notepad++ or even paid ones like 010 Editor "the worlds best hex editor" have problems with that (note how line breaking is broken at 100014 characters):

Sorry, from my side, this feature has too much impact.
