 When the `ctrl+b H` command has been issued for the first time, you will enter hex buffer mode. In this mode, the input buffer is interpreted as a hex string and will be converted to its byte equivalent before it gets sent to the target. Example inputs:
 
 - `746573740d0a` gets sent as `test\r\n`
-- `d0a` gets sent as `\r\n` as it assumed the trailing `0` has been omitted
+- `d0a` gets sent as `\r\n` as it assumed the leading `0` has been omitted
 - `74657374xd0a` gets sent as `test` since the `xd` byte contains an invalid hex character
 
 Hex buffer mode can be turned off with a second `ctrl+b H`.
