AkelPad

[norm_i]

would be cool to have hex code of highlighted character displayed in the status bar

even cooler would be the ability to edit the hex code

[DV]

In AkelPad's options (either HKCU\Software\Akelsoft\Akelpad in Registry or inside "AkelPad.ini"), under the section "Options", add the following:
StatusUserFormat='%cl' 0x%cH

Yes, cool indeed, thanks.

I guess you could edit non-displayed codes using Search/Replace.
But it would be very nice if you could edit the hex code inside the status window itself.
