@Robert: Now I finally understand how to use the new base buttons to convert hex->dec and dec->hex without changing the result format. Apart from being blind because of my nice patch, I think conversions could be more obvious.
What puzzled me most is that the base buttons react very differently while typing input and after a result is displayed. What about a visual difference, e.g. white background while typing / grey background if an immutable result is displayed? The base buttons are really intelligent. Press: [1] [2] [x₂] [x₂] -->12₂₂ [=] -->24 [1] [0] [x₂] [x₂] -->10₂ [=] -->10₂ [=] -->2 Finally correct. But I just don't like calculators that are smarter than me! IMHO if there are less buttons that react more complex, then usability gets worse.
