Special representations

Sometimes it would be nice to see what the hexadecimal value of the characters in a buffer is. This is mainly so for the editing of binary files. This can be done with the Alt-H key combination. It is described in full in the chapter on hex codes on p. .

Another special screen representation can be obtained with the Alt-T key combination. It is meant mainly to inspect in files what the true nature is of all blank spaces on the screen (blanks, tabs, ASCII zero, no character at all). It is described in full in the chapter on the tabs on p. .
