bemenu-qalc

A simple bemenu calculator using qalc (powerful and easy to use calculator, supporting complex math, conversions and more...), inspired by Nicolas RAYMOND's dmenu-calc.

The preview uses my wrapper for bemenu: bemenu-orange-wrapper.

Dependencies

• qalc
• bemenu >= 0.6
• Nerd Fonts (Symbols Only)
• Bash >= 5
• setsid
• xclip

Optional

• bemenu-orange-wrapper
• qalculate-gtk: Qalculate!

Installation

Dependencies

• Debian example with bemenu-orange-wrapper:

1. Follow bemenu-orange-wrapper instructions.

2. Next:

# xclip, setsid, qalc, qalculate-gtk
sudo apt install xclip util-linux qalc qalculate-gtk

bemenu-qalc

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/tkapias/bemenu-qalc.git bemenu-qalc
cd bemenu-qalc
chmod +x bemenu-qalc.bash

• Optional: Symlink to a directory in your user's path:

ln -s $PWD/bemenu-qalc.bash $HOME/.local/bin/bemenu-qalc

Features

• History: persistant, resetable.
• Clipboard: copy the last result.
• Keybindings: bemenu Default + Vim-like, displayable.
• Previous result: auto reuse, clearable.
• Link to GUI: qalculate-gtk

Usage

bemenu-qalc relies entirely on the dynamic actions provided inline, bemenu controls and qalc syntax.

The history is stored in $HOME/.local/state/bemenu-qalc-history.txt. It is persistant and resetable inline.
