If by "highlight" you mean "select", as in "click and drag to select some text
in the display" (as opposed to "hover the mouse pointer over"), what would
happen if you were to select a single byte?

Would it just mean that if you do a "copy", the two hex digits would be copied
to the clipboard/pasteboard/whatever-the-GUI-on-your-machine-calls it?

Would it mean that the status bar would display the field to which the selected
byte belongs?

Would anything else happen?

And if you select multiple bytes, what would happen if the bytes didn't all
belong to a single field?
