How to change bytes in IDA Pro Hex view?
While in IDA’s Hex View you can go to Edit->Patch Program->Change Byte, but I think this only lets you patch 16 bytes at a time. If you need to patch more bytes than that you can use IDAPython’s idc.PatchByte / idc.PatchWord / idc.PatchDword to change bytes in the IDA database.

Once the IDA debugger started, I would like to be able to type a memory address (or a memory zone) and look easily at the content of it (in various format). With gdb you would do print /x *0x80456ef or, if you want a wider zone, x /6x 0x80456ef.
Where is address in hex IDA Pro, disassembler?
