Dependencies

• bc
• xclip
• Rofi or dmenu(2)

Usage

menu-calc uses bc as the backend and will accept any operations bc is able to do:

= -h
= 4+4
= (4+2)/(4+3)
= 4^2
= sqrt(4)
= c(2)

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.

Custom Usage

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

Force usage of dmenu

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

= --dmenu=dmenu
