For some reason, I was using calc all this time. I mean, it’s good, but I need to do base conversions (dec, hex, bin) *very* often and you have to type base(2) or base(16) in calc to do that. That’s exhausting after a while.
So I now replaced calc with a little Python script which always prints the results in dec/hex/bin, grouped in bytes (if the result is an integer). That’s what I need. It’s basically just a loop around Python’s exec().
