Bug Description
the assembler listing shows all addresses and offsets directly, including the created opcode for each instruction. For some users this might be very useful information, that would also be good to have in the edit mode, so maybe we could have an option to also display this information in edit mode? This could be displayed along the line numbers. In addition, having another column that displays the "cost" for each instruction (in cycles) would be handy, too.
Also, such a more comprehensive view of the source code and its opcodes, should probably become the default view during debugging sessions?

It is worth pointing out that there really is no direct view of the in memory opcodes, just the translation of the assembly mnemonics, but in the case of self-modifying code for example, the originally translated opcodes may no longer be representative. In other words, you may be viewing a non-representative dump of instructions because they are outdated and do not show the effects of self modifying code
