Shortcut: Ctrl+D
Hex copy selected allows you to copy the actual hex values shown in hex edit mode, not the plain text characters they represent. The normal copy command copies the actual data in the file, not the Hex representation shown on the display.
As the data being copied may only be a partial line this command computes the address for the start of the data and this will be how it is formatted in the clipboard.
The following shows hex data in hex edit mode (the title is for clarification only):
File Offset | Hexadecimal representation | ASCII representation |
---|---|---|
00000000h: 00000010h: 00000020h: |
31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 30 31 32 33 34 35 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 6A 6B 6C 6D 6E 6F 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 |

If the "4567" in the first row were selected and copied to the clipboard via hex copy selected, the format in the clipboard (ready to paste into another document) would be:
00000003h: 34 35 36 37 ; 4567
