Feature Request: PowerToys Run: Convert between HEX, DEC, OCT and BIN etc

[StrangeCalibur]

Just like when doing other basic calculations using PowerToys Run, it would be nice to be able to convert quickly between (for my uses), HEX and DEC. This functionality is included in the preinstalled calculator.

The way it works in my head is the following:

1. HEX copied
2. alt space to open RUN
3. Paste HEX
4. Type CTD (Convert to DEC)
5. Press enter to save to clipboard

I am not sure as to how many people this would find this useful however as it would be a great boon to my work flow in work I would be happy to take on responsibility for developing and implementing this feature if others think it would be useful.

I should point out that at this point, the calculator mode supports number entry as hex in the 0x<hex chars> format, which means that all you have to do to convert it to decimal is prefix it with 0x:

0xabcdef01

However, I don't think there is a way to convert from decimal to any other number system. Also, hex values longer than 32-bits seem to be handled a bit unpredictably.

In addition to @ThubLives comment: 0b* can also be used to convert binary to decimal, e.g. 0b1001 = 9. However, I also don't know of a way to do the reverse (perhaps 9b0 = 1001 or 90x0 = 5A would be practical solutions if this were to be implemented, but I don't think there's a way to do this right now).
