I think it would be great if the input field could be used as a normal textfield and alternatively in some kind of "hexedit" mode.

In this mode we could see two panes, one with the hex representation of the input, and another with the text representation. Selecting a byte in the hex pane would highlight the character in the text pane and vice versa. A bit like the tool "hexedit" works on linux.

Editing the input in either of the panes would update the other accordingly.

This would make inputting and editing the input of binary data much easier.

ATM this can be achieved by first using "To Hexdump" on the data, copying the output to input and then chaging the recipe to first include "From Hexdump" and then the other operator(s). This is however quite tedious and not that practical as the byte you are editing in the hexdump is not that obvious.
