Tools Menu
Tools Extract Strings... 	Locate ASCII strings in the data. Minimum string length, case sensitivity and a pattern to match can be specified.
Tools Binary Filter... 	Perform a binary operation on the data. The operation (AND, OR, ROTATE..) and an operand can be specified in the dialog box. Checkboxes in the dialog allow the operation to be limited to selected bytes or the region before or after the cursor.
Tools Character Table... 	Open a list of values and their ASCII equivalents and insert the selected value at the cursor.
Tools Converter... 	Enter a value in any of the fields and see its equivalent in hexadecimal, decimal, octal, binary or text. A check box allows viewing of the value at the cursor instead.
Tools Statistics... 	Display the frequency of occurrence of values in the document.

Documents Menu
Provides a list of the open documents. Selecting one makes it active.

Settings Menu
Settings Show Toolbar 	Toggle display of the toolbar below the menubar.
Settings Show Statusbar 	Toggle display of the statusbar
Settings Show Full Path 	Toggle display of the full file path in the titlebar
Settings Document Tabs 	Change display of tabs for all current documents. The tab can be displayed above or below the editor window, or hidden. You may find the tabs more convenient than the document menu for switching documents.
Settings Conversion Field 	Change display of the value conversion field. It can be embedded in the main window, made a floating window or hidden.
Settings Searchbar 	Change display of the value searchbar. It can be displayed above or below the editor window, or hidden.
Settings Save Options 	Save the current state of the options.
Settings Preferences... 	Change these settings:
Layout 	Line and column size (in bytes). These can be set separately for different modes. Fixed number of bytes per line. Lock column at end of line. Gridlines between rows and columns. Width of field separators, spacing and margins.
Cursor 	Blink rate and shape of the cursor. Behavior of the cursor when the window loses focus.
Font 	Font name, style and size. Character used to display nonprinting characters in the text field.
Colors 	 All colors in can be customized, including odd and even lines and columns, bookmarks, separators and grid lines. The one exception is the selection color, which uses the setting chosen in the KDE Control Center.
Files 	Opening of the last, or all recent documents on startup. Restoration of cursor position. Write protection enabled by default. Make a backup upon saving files. Saving of Recent Documents list on exit. The Recent Documents list can also be cleared in this dialog.
Miscellaneous 	Automatic copy to clipboard upon selection. Startup in insert mode, rather than overwrite. Confirmation required for wrapping to the beginning or end during searches. Cursor jumps to nearest byte when moved in binary mode. Sound on typing input or fatal failure. Display of bookmarks in the offset column and editor fields. Warning when number of printable pages exceeds a settable limit. Maximum number of undos.

..and at the right of the toolbar..
Toggle write protection - switch between read-only and read/write modes.

Searchbar
The searchbar is used to locate a specific value in the document. Enter a value in the box, select the desired representation (hexadecimal, octal, binary, decimal or text) and hit the Find button. Check the Backwards box to search backwards from the cursor point or check Ignore case for a case-insensitive text search. Click the button on the right of the bar (X) to hide the searchbar; go to Searchbar in the Settings menu to restore it.

Conversion field
The conversion field displays the values of various datatypes at the selected byte. For 8 bit types, it displays the value of the byte under the cursor; for larger types, it displays the value starting at that byte. The rightmost column displays various encodings of the current byte. Options in the conversion field are:
Show little endian decoding 	When checked, causes multibyte types to be calculated using the little-endian method used by x86 and Alpha processors. In this scheme, the first byte represents the least significant part of the value. (0a 4e = 0x4e0a = 19978) When unchecked, causes multibyte types to be calculated using the big-endian method used by PowerPC and Sparc processors. (0a 4e = 0x0a4e = 2638)
Show unsigned as hexadecimal 	When checked, causes unsigned types to be displayed in hexadecimal, rather than decimal format.
Stream length 	Determines the number of bits used to calculate the values in the fields above it.

Status Bar
The status bar displays the following information:
Encoding/Selection 	When there is no selection, this field shows the encoding option used. (See View Document Encoding for more information on encoding.) The start point and the length of the selection are shown.
File Modified 	A ! in this box indicates the current file was modified.
Insert/Overwrite 	Indicates whether values entered at the keyboard are inserted at the cursor point (INS) or overwrite the existing data starting at the cursor(OVR). Use the Insert key to toggle betwen the two modes.
Size 	Displays the total size of the current document.
Offset 	Indicates the position of the cursor within the document.
Display mode 	Indicates whether data editor window is diplaying values in hexadecimal, octal, binary, decimal or text mode. Switch between modes with the View menu.
Write Protection 	Indicates whether the document can be edited (RW) or is being viewed read-only (R). Switch between modes with the button on the far-right of the toolbar or the Permissions command in the File menu.
