Some features of Wireshark that I wasn't really aware I relied on, until now...

Byte to Frame mapping

In Wireshark the byte-field has hover and click actions. Can these be replicated in vsc-webshark?

E.g. In Wireshark when I hover over a byte (or click on it), it does two things:

  1. Highlights the range of bytes in the protocol field
  2. Displays a description and summary in the status bar

Packet to Byte highlighting

In Wireshark, when I click on a packet, it highlights the source address in the byte-pane. Ideally, I'd like to be able to click on a column for a given packet and have it highlight the relevant info in the byte-pane. E.g. if I'd click on a packet's source column, or destination column, or any other column that I have configured, then it highlight the relevant bytes in the byte-pane.

Packet Hovering

In Wireshark, when I hover over a packet, it highlights it a with a pale colour. I often use this feature to point at packets; it helps to keep me oriented in larger traces.

Matt.

@LiveFreeAndRoam First of all sorry for late response! You can already click on the fields. See e.g. here:

So the packet to byte highlighting is there, isn't it?

The packet hovering I do need to investigate (compare with recent wireshark version).
