I've just started using VCDS and am very impressed, but I have a small UI enhancement request related to the Long Coding helper interface. If I select a byte, the value turns yellow and then I see the byte number and binary value underneath, along with options to change its value. But if I click the dropdown menu to view other possible values, the byte reverts to green, just like all other bytes. When trying to look through bytes one at a time, this means it becomes very easy to lose track of where I was. It's especially difficult because the value of the currently selected byte is shown in binary, while the values above are expressed in hex, so there isn't even an easy way to visually scan the byte values at the top to find the one that matches what I selected. I would therefore suggest one of the following UI changes:
- Allow the currently selected byte to remain yellow even if the user selects the dropdown or a checkbox beneath it.
- (My preference) Include sequential numbering above or below the hex byte value boxes. That way, when VCDS shows "Byte 7", I can quickly find Byte 7 in the row of hex values above.
Apologies if I'm missing something that already exists in the UI to assist with this. It's my first day.
