Hex editor with VI bindings (lemmy.sdf.org)

I'm aware that you can "edit" binary files with :%!xxd but seriously, am I the only one to think it's totally pathetic? Vim should be better than that.

I use Hexer myself. It's binary editing done right and it should be merged into vim - as in, type :hex or something and the edition mode switches to that editor's layout.

I agree that VIM binay support is pathetic. Hoping someone will jump on here to say there is some plugin or technique that I'm unaware of that shores this up.

Didn't know about hexer. Seems like a nice hex editor.
