my imhex wishlist

imhex.md

1. diffing window - is the slighty-out-of-sync problem real? locate the code responsible for this part and then examine it.

2. diffing window - right click -> sync with main [checkbox] (let the main sync with diffing as well)

3. diffing window - CTRL-G goto and CTRL-F find, maybe automatically forward this request to main window

4. scroll bar highlighting

5. right click in the hex area -> locate position in -> pattern/diffing/find window

6. maybe, make pattern/diffing/find window able to sync with hex window as well?

7. find window - maybe a independent hex window is needed just like the diffing window, can be synced with main

8. make the simple byte-to-byte diffing list the 'only in a/b' area and 'same' area(s)

9. diffing - set region

10. cache the diffing/find result, possibly save (availability status) to dropdown menu

11. mark selection start/end like 010 editor, or even better - reference bookmarks!

12. paste as - why there are not so many options as plenty as "copy as"

13. i still want to press F5 in the pattern data window

14. how to retrigger auto-recognition of patterns?

15. how do i manually pick one

16. how do i save my pattern and pick it latter

17. conversion or direct compatibility from 010 .bt pattern possible? (maybe llm can do this?)

18. web - file system api, not file api, then it can actually operate on files; fallback when this is not available/denied; remind about it; ability to abandon/revoke fs permission (don't know whehter this is do-able)?

19. CTRL-O open and CTRL-N new not responding?

20. web - Myer's bit-vector stuck, errors being thrown in the console, emscripten complained about missing debugging symbols

21. web - not sure whether the entire app is offline-available. after all, from the very beginning, the persist storage web api itself seems BROKEN - chromium-based browser "may not honor this request!?!?" omg. hit a page refresh and your entire workspace is lost, just same as vscode, sigh (but maybe for vscode web its intended use case is to connect to a remote pc)

22. .wasm pattern
