rofi-calc
is awesome. It's so convenient to just press a keyboard shortcut you have defined and instantly being able to type or paste your equation, no having to wait for a complicated GUI to load, no clicking required. You can just pop it in whenever you need. Also it does unit conversions, instead of a math equation you can just type10 inches to cm
or10 eur to usd
or100 celsius to fahrenheit
or100 to binary
which is a huge time saver.https://github.com/svenstaro/rofi-calc
Besides, it's rofi and rofi rules 😎
Rofi is cool but don't forget about qalculate (the backend)
Yeah I should have mentioned it, the day I stumbled on rofi-calc and learned that it could deal with natural language thanks to qalculate I was floored ! I don't know who came up with the idea by hat off to them
wow, great program! I've been using bc for some simple calculations before, but this just replaced it!
