Hello!
First of all: great tool! It's the best using (and looking) hex editor I've ever seen for Windows. Thanks for developing (and still doing).
I have a request that is similar to this thread. Of course a simple hex/dec converter would be great, but for those purpose I already have a shortcut for Windows' calc.exe: with F5/F6 you can convert between hex/dec. But a built-in converter could use the selected bytes as preset entry.
Because it happens often that I just want to know, which value (in decimal) a sequence of bytes have, it would be great to have an additional field in status line that shows it without explicit user interaction. For example I have a byte sequence "44 A5". Then I simply mark them with cursor and get the answer: 17573 decimal. Or (better) if I configured "little endian" it would be 42308.
I made a little picture to show you what I think of:

Maybe you could add this little supporting function. Configuring little/big endian (or at least only little endian). But this function should only calculate up to a sequence of 8 or 16 bytes. More bytes are not likely to be used as an integer value.
(Additional idea: show float values, but this would be more effort to develop. I could help if needed.)
