For hex insertion I'm thinking of a script. That would be easier as using i_CTRL-V_digit for every character. The script would only need to map [0-9a-zA-Z] to be able to capture the hex input and convert it to single characters. The script could probably solve the encoding problems. As for encoding itself, I think it still posses a problem for my current 'displaymode' patches. I looked at the documentation bit I didn't dig into it. I see there are quite a few encoding settings. For now I disable the encoding routines when displaying text and either 'hex' or 'dot', this was a fast hack and I wonder if it even works correct. I think it is better to disable encoding entirely when hex editing but I didn't look deep enough into the encoding settings. An alternative would be to allow encoding but document that there might be unexpected (but technically correct) output. The same as the tab character is still shown as a normal tab in 'hex' mode, 'list' needs to be set and 'listchars' shouldn't contain tab, for a tab to be displayed as hex. Suggestions on how encoding should be shown in 'hex' and 'dot' mode are welcome. Consider multi byte characters which can take up either 1 or 2 display cells.
