Go To Offset: Moves the current position to the specified offset. Normally this is done relative to the beginning of the file (offset 0). You can also move the cursor relative to the current position (forward or backward) or from the end of the file (backward). An offset can be specified in bytes (default), words (2 bytes), doublewords (4 bytes), records (if defined), or sectors. Press F11 to repeat the last position movement.
Go To Page/Sector: Browses to the specified page, sector, or cluster. Note that the data area on FAT drives starts with cluster #2. The Go To Sector dialog, when applied to a physical disk, optionally allows to jump to the designated sector within the respective partition window, so that you can immediately see the allocation status of the corresponding cluster. Only for ordinary partitions, not Windows dynamic volumes or LVM2 volumes.
Go To FAT Entry/FILE Record: Jump to a certain entry in the file allocation table on a FAT drive or to a certain FILE record in the master file table on an NTFS drive, respectively.
Move Block: Moves the current block selection (not the data within the block) forward or backward. Specify the distance in bytes. Press Alt+F11 to repeat the last block movement, press Shift+Alt+F11 to reverse the movement. This command may facilitate editing a file that consists of homogeneous records of a fixed length.
WinHex and X-Ways Forensics keep a history of your offset jumps within a file or disk and allow to go back and forward in the chain later. Forensic license only: With Back and Forward you can also conveniently go back to a certain directory browser setting. This takes into account: explored path, recursive or non-recursive, sort criteria, on/off state of all filters, settings of some of the filters, some directory browser options. The Back and Forward commands also allow to activate the previously active data window again when switching between windows.

Beginning Of File: Display the first page of the current file and moves the current position to offset 0.
End Of File: Displays the last page of the current file and moves the current position to the last byte (offset=file size-1).
Beginning Of Block: Moves the current position to the beginning of the current block.
End Of Block: Moves the current position to the end of the current block.
Mark Position: Marks the current position and thus enables you to find it again later.
Delete Marker: Removes the marker from the screen.
Go To Marker: Moves the current position to the marker set by Mark Position.
