hexer.nvim

Vim has this trick using xxd to open files as hex and vice versa:

In command mode - turn buffer to hex dumped text:

:%!xxd

Reverse that after editing with:

:%!xxd -r

I find myself having to use such functionality a lot, so -

I HEX YOU Neovim!

What It Is

Currently it just takes the current buffer and opening it's hexdump in another buffer using only lua.

I plan to give it a full editing capability so it could be used as a total replacement for other tools.
