Automatically Paste Result Into Active Text Area/Box #182

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
The only real reason people get calculator extensions is for doing quick 
computations, but we still have to copy/paste the result. I have yet to see a 
single calculator extension automate this by pasting the computed result into 
the text input that was active before pressing the extension icon.

Such a feature would really set this extension apart. Please give it some 
thought!

I apologize, this is a feature request, not a defect.

There are bunch of ways to accomplish something like this. They may or may not 
be what you want, but here are some thing you can try out:
* Clicking a result will make it appear in the input area
* The @ sign always holds that last answer. So, of your last result was 42, 
then 10 + @ would get you 52.
* If you start your calculation with an operator, it will be continued from the 
last result. So if your last result was 52, +100 would get you 152.
