View decimal <--> hexadecimal toggle - ascii representation?

Hi there,

I really enjoy the toggle format on values in the debug panel but IMHO it lacks some formats:

By default the format toggles between dec & hex but doesn't should binary or octadecimal but more importantly, ascii.

So I added the ascii display of values, so now by default I toggle between dec --> hex --> ascii

Sometimes though I want to see binary or octadecimal representations but not always, so I've added modifier keys:

  • with shift key pressed the cycle becomes: dec --> hex --> ascii --> bin --> oct
  • with meta key pressed the cycle becomes: dec --> hex --> ascii --> dateS --> dateL

As shown in the gif, the ascii display is kinda fun when dealing with Java serialisation protocols where half the content are class or variable names ....

Perhaps this has already been addressed in the latest versions, sorry for the spam if that is the case, this was done using 4.0.9 as basis.

Perhaps should be in the Feature Requests category? If accepted by the core devs, this could then move to a PR.

I explicitly did not place it there since I don't want to start a discussion on this feature. Either it inspires Nick & co, or it doesn't. I've got it implemented and if someone else wants to PR it into NR, then do it.

This is purely inspirational, it's not a request-for-change.
