Customization

Hex Editor Neo is a highly customizable application. You can customize almost every feature or module. This section describes several basic customization mechanisms.

In addition, other customizable features are described in other sections. This includes:

Editor Window Customization

You can customize the placement and layout of an editor window.

Structure Viewer Settings Page

Structure Viewer allows you to define a list of directories that are used to search for included files. It also allows you to define an association between a structure scheme and file extension.

In addition, most interface windows, especially those that encapsulate a Pattern Window, allow you to change their size. The size is then saved and restored next time you use this window. Most window fields also store the values you entered into them and provide you with a list of last recently used values.

This section describes General Settings, Toolbar Customization and Keyboard Customization.

Settings Window

The Settings window is invoked using the Tools » Settings… command.

The Settings window contains a list of pages on the left. Currently selected configuration page is displayed on the right. The changes you make usually take effect immediately. You can press the OK button to apply and retain changes, or Cancel button to discard all changes you made and close the Settings window.

Settings window is resizable and memorizes its size the next time you open it.

Search settings field can be used to search for a specific setting. The search term you enter is searched for on every settings page. This filters the list of settings pages.

All settings pages are divided into the following categories:

Visual
