    Cmd+space on macos or alt+space on KDE open a floating text input which does math (and currency conversion!).

    On Samsung phones you can have a side-bar one slide away with a calculator as well.

    Take that, school math teacher telling us we wouldn’t have a calculator!

      yeah my behaviour is 100% a result of the windows calculator being shit

      well that and I don’t want to move my hands off the kb/m to my phone, which I don’t keep in my office anyways

      I’ve started just doing it in any of the Excel docs I always happen to have open, which is often better for making revisions and comparing numbers anyways. then just clear those cells when done / close without saving (well, the times that Microsoft lets me close without saving, anyways - sometimes it saves even if auto save is off and you choose to not save)
