Calculator?

Post by flamboyant_entropy »

OK, this is a way out there request, but thought I'd throw it in. I'd love to be able to do the quickest calculation possible inside everything. It loads so fast from Ctrl + Space and is so part of my daily routine now, that would be sweet if I could type in something like "(9*4)/365" (or something that prefixes indicating a calculator like "#(9*4)/365" and I see a response right there somewhere. It would help me a lot! If something like this already exists.... please let me know :D

Everything 1.5 will have /=

Type in the following search:

/=(9*4)/365.0

Press ENTER in the search box.



Expressions can be used on search functions that accept numbers.

For example:

size:1<<17
len:3*47

Revisiting this old thread, been using this a lot and wondering if there was a way to keep the formula in the search bar (eg not replace it with the value when pressing ENTER) or keep it somewhere else visible?

(The search term is stored in the dropdown history.)

Yep I know that but it requires some extra clicks and there's a visual potential for 'loss' given the dropdown has so much of the history. I understand I may be an outlier but thought it would be nice to have it be there, maybe even in the search box itself.
