Switch any window into
 hex mode editing

You can switch any window into hex mode editing:

  1. Press <Alt-D>, the hot-key for {VIEW, Toggle display mode} five times. Each character in the file should now be displayed as hexadecimal values. The status line displays the absolute position of the cursor in the file.
  2. Press <Alt-D> three more times to return to normal editing.

Using <Alt-D> is a quick way to see what characters are really in your file, e.g. to see what the newline character(s) are.
