While this might not be killer useful for everyone, it would sure save me time as I often have to do this.
I often have to enter a define for a resource like this:
#define BMP_ANNUNCIATOR_BATTERYHOT_OFF 0x01FE // 516
Unfortunately, it would be more ideal to enter them in decimal (as there are certain key value ranges), but the existing stuff needs them in hex.
What would be cool is if I could enter the decimal, right click and convert it to hex, octal, or bin maybe. =)
Instead, I have to break out the calculator for each conversion.

Thanks, I'll have a look.
After thinking a bit more about it, I realize I could probably use a nested macro. I just like to reduce complexity.

I bookmarked this, and still want to go back and study it, since manipulating numbers in code does seem like a very useful idea, and one I used quite a lot in VIM.
Without trying I am not sure how easily the macro could be adapted, but it should provide the basic building blocks for this. |

Yeah, the line was pieced together, and not from actual code. I just inserted the 0x01FE as it came to mind. |

Apart from that, even though it's quite some time ago I had to deal with hex (or binary) numbers, I can see the merit. Maybe this could be implemented as a refactor function? |
