Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

To be able to edit files by pasting hexadecimal or ASCII content.

Describe the solution you'd like

When started in edit/cache mode only, Ctrl+V will remove the selected text if any is selected and will insert the content of the clipboard otherwise will only insert (like text editor). Both for ASCII and hexadecimal.

Research direction
Look into the Hexdump widget implementation in Cutter, specifically how keyboard shortcuts are handled and how clipboard operations are currently managed. The issue requests adding Ctrl+V to paste both hexadecimal and ASCII content. Examine existing edit mode logic and the selected text handling. Check if there are any recent changes to the Hexdump widget or related pull requests that might inform the implementation.
