Different formats are indistinguishable

Because it adds more maintenance cost for very little added value.

You are of course right in what you're saying. But there is also something to gain from having well designed interface.

0b for binary - I thought exactly the same
0x for hex - I believe that there will be no argument on this?

"0x" is already there.

You should try what happens if you watch a negative int and switch it in properties ti unsigned.

Then I believe it should be indicated in type column, like:
a|425156|int -> unsigned
It would simply mean consistency has been preserved. But I also see the possibility of having:
a|425156u|int
Note the postfix, which is somewhat consistent with C++ literals, 10ULL etc.
What is your opinion?

I've also observed that there are inconsistencies in behavior while displaying values. Try to change the value to be displayed as a char. What happens is that you have the original value and the char representation. This is inconsistent, because you don't have original value displayed when you have type changed to unsigned.
Anyway, I believe that it would be really nice if this could be fixed and normalized.
