menu-qalc

A calculator for Wofi/dmenu(2). Adapted for Wayland and Wofi.

Installation

git clone [repository]
cd ./menu-qalc
chmod +x menu-qalc
mv menu-qalc ~/.local/bin/

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) Wofi/dmenu.

If launched outside of Wofi/dmenu the expression may need quotation marks.

To launch directly into the calculator, use the following command (useful if bound to "super + equal" in sway or the like):

= -- [wofi/dmenu parameters]

For example:

= -- --location 2 --width 100

By default, if wofi is installed, it will be used. You can force menu-qalc to use dmenu or any other dmenu-like application:

= --dmenu=dmenu
