Problem description
Ability to paste Base64 with autodetection of base64 when pasting or under the paste as dropdown.
Implementation description
I have added an option
Paste all as decoded base64 stringunder thePaste asoption.I have modified the function
pasteBytes()inplugins/builtin/source/content/views/view_hex_editor.cppand added two functionsisValidBase64()anddecodeBase64().It checks if the copied string is empty or its length a multiple of 4 (because a valid base64 string is multiple of 4 or padded with = to satisfy the condition).
Then it
decodeBase64function is called and decoded output is pasted.For eg,
aGVsbG8gd29ybGQ=-> this string is present in my clipboard, I am attaching the screenshot.Screenshots
