Offsets can be given in hexadecimal, octal or decimal. There are two editing modes: hex and ascii. In hex mode you type hexadecimal digits and in ascii mode you type characters. In ascii mode the cursor is automatically moved to the next byte after typing a character (this behaviour is configurable for hex mode. Heme uses the curses library for screen and input handling.
