Hex Editor - Custom Editor API

[lramos15]

With the Custom Editor API moving out of proposed state a custom hex editor utilizing the API is possible. This milestone is planned to include a read only release of the hex editor as a VS Code extension with editing capabilities coming in the next iterations.

We try to keep VS Code lean and we think the functionality you're asking for is great for a VS Code extension. Maybe you can already find one that suits you in the VS Code Marketplace. Just in case, in a few simple steps you can get started writing your own extension. See also our issue reporting guidelines.

Happy Coding!
