# Editors and Viewers

Terminaux provides a way to edit or view a hexadecimal representation of bytes or lines of text in an interactive way without any hassle. The following classes are available for you to use:

The interactive hex editor, `HexEditInteractive`, allows you to edit either a file or a byte array byte by byte, while giving you basic editing abilities, such as replacing all occurrences of a byte value with another byte value, finding a byte value or a group of it, and so on. This is all done with the help of the [screen feature](https://aptivi.gitbook.io/aptivi/terminaux-manual/usage/console-tools/textual-ui/console-screen) in Terminaux to allow visual editing.

In the other hand, the interactive hex viewer only allows you to view a hexadecimal representation of each byte without any editing functionality. This allows quick viewing of bytes in hexadecimal.

The interactive text editor, `TextEditInteractive`, allows you to seamlessly and interactively edit multi-line text. Inspired by VIM, the popular extensible terminal text editor, this text editor features two modes:

* Normal mode: You can perform some basic operations, such as finding and replacing, inserting a new line, removing a line, deleting a character, and entering the Insertion mode.
* Insertion mode: You can write your own text wherever you want

In the other hand, the interactive text viewer only allows you to view what's written and to search for a portion of the text.
