Given that Combinators now support many bitwise operations, it would be very useful to be able to enter, "0xff" or "0xff00" or "0xFE800000" or such as the constant second-argument of an arithmetic or decider combinator, or as the values on a constant combinator. Currently I have to flip over to the windows calculator and convert these values to decimal, and they become opaque blobs that then need further labelling (for non-trivial powers of two, at least) for future maintainability of the circuits.

Yes, please! This would be hugely useful when trying to implement more computer-like systems. Decimal is great for many things, but computing isn't one of them.

I agree that it would be nice to be able to toggle between decimal and hexadecimal entry of numbers. But it should also be possible to toggle the display.
