### 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!
Added the ui namespace and broke the main rendering function into a set
of smaller functions. Reorganized the header code separating functions
into rough groups that eventually will be in separate files.
Also fixes two bugs:
1) error messages not staying visible
2) uncaught exception when struct name is duplicated.
A lot of the code using coordinates for start and end has been moved to
use Selections instead. Created more string manipulation code that uses
utf8 indices aka Coordinates directly. This makes implementing editing
functions easier by not having to go back and forth from string indices
to char indices and back. Currently, the substring, erase and []
operator support coordinates and str indices.
The error was caused when the search for the closing delimiter extended
past the last token in the sequence, which happened because the initial
increments before the loop starts were not being accounted for in the
loop ending condition. This was fixed by decrementing the limit of
possible steps to account for the initial steps taken.
Problem was that a recent commit allowed any subview window to become
the current subview with focus which also included the context menu
popup. The fix is to list all the subviews that can acquire focus so
that they are the only ones that will be detected by the menu condition.
The error occurred because only one of two subviews (the text editor or
the console) were allowed to report having focus. By extending this
functionality to all subviews, each one can use its own set of shortcuts
thus fixing the problem.
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.
