# dec2bin
A simple yet powerful GTK4 application for converting numbers between different numerical bases (binary, decimal, hexadecimal and octal).
## Features
### Core Functionality
- **Bidirectional Conversion**: Convert from any base to any other base
- **Real-time Updates**: Results update instantly as you type
- **Large Number Support**: Handle very large numbers (limited by system memory)
- **Clean GTK4 Interface**: Modern, responsive design with Libadwaita support
- **Smart Input Filtering**: Automatically filters invalid characters for selected base (using regular expressions)
- **Base Selection**: Dropdown menus for easy base selection
- **Placeholder Hints**: Shows current base in input field placeholders
- **Quick Swap**: Button to instantly swap between input/output bases
### Keyboard Shortcuts
| Shortcut | Action |
|----------------|----------------------------|
| Ctrl+Q | Quit application |
| Ctrl+X | Switch between bases |
| Ctrl+Backspace | Clear both fields |
