Global Options dialog

This dialog allows you to modify the global settings of Tiny Hexer. It can be accessed from the "Options/Global Settings" menu.

General Settings (page 1)

Support OLE Drag 'n' Drop: If this box is checked, you can use drag and drop to copy or move data from Tiny Hexer to other applications and vice versa. You can also drag data from an editor to a folder in Explorer to create so called "Scrap Files"
Maximize new editor windows: If this box is checked, Tiny Hexer creates new editor windows in maximized state
Initial Insert mode on file opening: If this box is checked (default), documents are opened in Insert mode (i.e. data is inserted when typing values). If the box is not checked, documents are opened in Overwrite mode (on typing values the current data is overwritten). New (empty) editor windows are always created in Insert mode
Show Hex chars in lower case: If this box is checked, hexadecimal numbers are displayed using lower case letters in the editor's hexadecimal field, otherwise upper case letters are used
Use Mouse wheel for zooming: If this box is checked, you can change the number of bytes displayed in each row using the mouse wheel and pressing the CTRL key
White space replacement: The character that is displayed in the editor's character field when displaying data in the value range 0..31
Maximum size of Undo buffer: Tells Tiny Hexer how much memory it should provide for undo storage. The higher this value, the more modification steps are undoable. If this limit gets exceeded, the oldest undo record is removed from memory, so the corresponding modification can no longer be undone

Backups

Create backups: If this box is checked, Tiny Hexer creates backups of modified files before they are re-written to disk
Backup file extension: Tells Tiny Hexer what file extension it should add to file being backuped

Clipboard

Text is in Hex Text format: If this box is checked, text data pasted from clipboard will not be inserted as is, but read as Hex Text ("00 01 02 03...")
Preserve contents on exit: If this box is checked and Tiny Hexer has put some data to the clipboard, the clipboard data will be available after Tiny Hexer terminated. Otherwise, Tiny Hexer clipboard data is removed on exit

Shortcuts

Here you can define the keyboard shortcuts of Tiny Hexer's menu commands. Select a command from the commands list, focus the hotkey box and press the key combination you want to use to execute the command.

Scripts

Startup Script: Here you can choose a Tiny Hexer Script which automatically gets executed when Tiny Hexer is started.
Termination Script: Here you can choose a Tiny Hexer Script which automatically gets executed when Tiny Hexer is terminated.

You might try the startup.mps/stop.mps script couple located in the scripts/start-stop directory. These scripts can re-open the files which were opened in the previous Tiny Hexer session. Even the selections are remembered.

Keyboard Mapping

In Tiny Hexer it is possible to reconfigure the keyboard when typing hexadecimal values into an editor's hexadecimal field and characters into its character field independently. E.g. in some keyboard layouts typing numbers needs the usage of additional control keys, so keyboard reconfiguration could be used to map the key "q" to the number "0" to simplify number typing in the hexadecimal field (where the "q" character is not used).

Mappings list: Select a key mapping to change its properties
Add: Add a new key mapping
Delete: Remove the selected key mapping
Clear: Clear the whole list
Character typed: The source key that you want to remap to a different one
Maps to: The target key press sent to the editor instead of the source key
