 I'm strongly against this.  I posit that current layout is much better
 for a typical use case when you only need to operate in a single base.
 
 I find the proposed layout illogically formatted, verbose and hard to
 read.
 
 With the current layout ascii table for a given base fits completely
 on the screen.  With proposed layout you will have to scroll up and
 down to get to different characters.
 
 With the current layout you "focus" the table in the base you are
 interested in on the screen and you are not distracted by the other
 two bases that you don't need.  With proposed layout you will have to
 constantly focus on the column for the base you need.
