How it will work:

  • inherit Tab class,
  • custom widget displaying "hex" representation (based on Scintilla) on the left,
  • TextEditor on the right,
  • will have its own plugin menu which will allow to open file and display it in hex editor,
  • only "visible" part of file is loaded (?),
  • text editor displays only ASCII text and all other data bytes (including for example newlines) are displayed as dots, for example when we have utf-8 text "člověk" then text editor on the right will show "..lov..k"
