vim as hex editor

Posted by Nico Golde in
Wednesday, March 5. 2008

It's quite long ago since I last added a new macro to my .vimrc but today I saw a simple solution to use vim as a hex editor to edit binary files.

map <Leader>hon :%!xxd<CR>
map <Leader>hof :%!xxd -r<CR>

where Leader is ',' (defined by let mapleader="," ) and xxd is shipped in a vim installation.
