#43 Please provide insert mode for hex editing
Hello,
I found using insert mode is very convenient for hex editing. You can to insert or delete any hex data or string in a file as you wish when you enable insert mode at any time. I hope you can add insert mode for new release, and I think you can set the shortcut key [Insert] to switch this feature.
I found MadEdit-Mod and wxMEdit have this implentation. You can click "Hex mode" button at toolbar, and press [Insert] to enable this feature.

Hi He,
Are you tried the "right click -> Insert" ?
wxHexEditor support insert/inject/delete bytes from file if It's not a disk file. BUT since wxHexEditor is designed to work with huge files, there is some minor problem. When you insert any byte into stream, you have to create another (huge) file to disk.. So, inserting bytes as you type is not an (good) property for a HEX editor (at least for me).
If you know how much byte you need, you can insert (or delete) custom bytes from any point of the file.
Regards,
Erdem

I tried it, but I think it is not convenient when work with small files.
