A calculator for Rofi/dmenu(2)
Arch Linux AUR: menu-qalc
- libqalculate
- wl-clipboard
- Wofi, fuzzel or dmenu(2)
menu-qalc uses qalc as the backend and will accept any operations qalc is able to do:
= 4+4
= (4+2)/(4+3)
= 4^2
= sqrt(4)
= c(2)
= '500 + 25%'
= '1000 EUR to USD'
The answer can be copied to the clipboard and used for further calculations inside (or outside) Rofi/dmenu.
If launched outside of Rofi/dmenu the expression may need quotation marks.
To launch directly into the calculator, use the following command (useful if bound to "super + equal" in sxhkd, i3 or the like):
= -- [rofi/dmenu parameters]
For example:
= -- -location 2 -width 100
By default, if wofi or fuzzel is installed, it will be used. You can force menu-qalc
to use dmenu or any other dmenu-like application:
= --dmenu=dmenu
