Unfortunately, I had to create a new fork and branch because GitHub kept
rejecting my push due to the workflow files (nightly_release.yml and
release.yml), even though they were not intentionally modified.
I only made changes in two language files and added a helper script
Formatter.py.
Please test if everything works correctly in the interface.
Thanks for the project, and I’m happy to help further if needed.

Attempt to fix WerWolv's strange off by one problem when using the
mouse. Added a popup question for files that contain long lines (>1024
bytes). Also improved the handling of large lines, so it won't stall the
app. May also contain other smaller issue fixes.
### Problem description
Messages in the TCP tool were only visible as a text string in the
messages list and unable to be opened in the hex view.
There was also no way to send data other than as a typed in text string
in the input field.
### Implementation description
* Added the ability to double-click on a message in the messages list to
open it in a provider tab.
* Added a new button to the client tab to send the current provider to
the connected server.
* Updated the list look to show the message index in a column

This PR implements a neat little feature I missed - the ability to jump
to the next/previous differing byte, skipping the chunk of repeating
bytes. Very useful when you analyze a raw flash dump and want to skip
the large sections of `0x00`s/`0xFF`s.
Some implementation details worth validating:
- I wasn't sure what is the correct place to put the new menu entries
into. The possible candidates were `File -> Go to address...` and `Edit
-> Follow selection`. I chose the former, although the latter may be a
better fit since it already states that the action is related to the
selection. Overall, it may be a good moment to refine these menu entries
in general.
- I didn't add any tests since I'm not sure what is the project's policy
for those. Please let me know if I need to add some!
- I added the machine-generated translations for the new menu entries
which may be considered a questionable thing. Please let me know if
you're unhappy with those, I'll drop the commit.
Also, thanks for such a nice tool, I use it a lot and was glad to build
a new feature for it!
Currently setting the time interval to auto save the project has no
effect other than creating one initial save if the input file is
unsaved. When a file is created and not saved it remains in a dirty
state which prevented setting the state of the autosaved project to
needing to be saved. Fixed by decoupling the state of the provider from
the state of the autosave. When a provider is detected as being dirty it
always makes the autosave as being needed once the time interval has
elapsed.
feat: Implemented the menus on the main menu bar that will be available
when the text editor has focus. It allows you to load and save patterns
using open and save and will tack changes if files on disk are modified
externally. It also only opens the file chooser the first time you save
a pattern file and subsequent changes save to the same file.
If you want to save into another file and have the new file be tracked
you can use Save As. Finally, export doesn't track the file on disk at
all. this feature uses the same changes tracker class used elsewhere in
imHex.
fix: Changed the defaults of various shortcuts that were using Alt + a
key to avoid possible problems with some keyboards. Shouldn't affect end
users as their shortcuts are loaded from internal file but those who
complain about the Alt key misbehaving will be asked to reset the keys
to the new defaults. In addition, all globally accessible shortcuts were
added the Allow while typing flag so that they can be used in any field
that accepts text.
New menu entries were added for debugging to make the pattern editor and
the hex editor menus more like each other.
Finally, the call to RegisterMainMenuEntries() when initializing views
was moved to occur after the call to registerViews() so that menus are
not repeated when set for different views.
Users can now synchronize the content of the pattern editor with a file
on disk when exporting a pattern. Any modifications made in the pattern
editor are automatically saved to the file and when the pattern editor
gains focus it will automatically load any changes to the file on disk.
This feature is brand new and can have unforeseen problems so test it
fully before risking losing work.
Added major changes to how the text editor handles utf8 characters with
the added ability to obtain them using the [] operator and column
coordinates as indices. Sanitize coordinates was renamed to Set
Coordinates and can be used instead of the constructor to guarantee no
out of range asserts and/or exceptions. Improved move left and right
readability and cursor accuracy when clicking. Fixed single character
selection by double-clicking it. Deleted old and unused code and other
changes that I can't remember about atm.
