Can you add the simple calculator function without opening the calculator? like the spotlight search in Mac OS X. Only the simple ±*/ sqrt function needed. That would be very useful.
Yes i find that the math feature of launch is one of the main things I miss with listary. It’s really useful that I am thinking of writing an autohotkey script that automatically opens launch whenever i start typing numbers in listary.
I’m so excited about Listary 5.0, it’s better and more configurable than ever! I’m a developer so I’m also incredibly excited about the plugin API. As a user, I’m also really looking forward to the simple calculator function. I use this all the time on OS X and it’s absolutely indispensable. Cortana can do it but it suuuucks - so slow, she reinterprets the expression as a web search too easily, and the answer isn’t copied to the clipboard (CRUCIAL step)… so…
Really looking forward to this function! (Or the ability to build it.)
Why would you need a calculator in a search program? Windows allready supports calculators in various modes. I don’t see this as a necessary function for a search engine.
There are probably more important things to be added to listary then a simple calculator.
You obviously haven’t used systems like Alphred, where this functionality is present. When you doing something and you want a quick calculation done, it’s a lot quicker to just double tap the left ctrl key and type in “5*20” and press enter to see the result. Alternative is to double tap ctrl, type the name of calc, enter, then type in your calculation and enter, then close the app. a lot more steps just to get a quick answer.
