libqalculate VS rofi

1) a scientific calculator with history and variables with a UI similar to https://sourceforge.net/projects/alt1-calculator/ that also can do units like https://qalculate.github.io/ 2) a tiny text chat direct message program that is similarly as easily accessible at Atl1 3) a minimalist dock of as many instances you would like similar to https://punklabs.com/rocketdock, and like where WIN opens the start menu, WIN + # should pop the dock

But unfortunately gravity is the first unit that I find is not supported :(

There's some talk about using g0 here https://github.com/Qalculate/libqalculate/issues/498 but that doesn't work in my version (I'm using an old version, hoping to update my OS this week). You can divide it by earth gravity if you know it by heart, though

    > 100 km/h / 0.956 s / 9.8 m/s^2

I personally use Qalculate (https://qalculate.github.io/), specifically their CLI version for this purpose. I'm not sure how well it compares to GNU Units, but it works well enough for my needs; and it's fairly simple using English-like syntax.

On the terminal, I use `qalc`[1]. It's a nice natural language calculator that does arithmetic, solves quadratic equations/linear systems, does unit conversions and even a bit of calculus. Combine it with a cli graphing tool and you can do pretty cool things.

Anything more complicated I'm probably ok with latency, so I open up wolframalpha and enter it there, again, in natural language.

Btw, download qalculate.github.io and play around with it a bit. I use it for basically all the physics I do. Complete lifesaver.

Personally I use http://qalculate.github.io/ since I end up having to do unit conversions often, it's pretty handy for that

Btw: http://qalculate.github.io/ is nice. I use CLI version to fix my general math incompetence. Even does units nicely, for example, "how long it would take to download 82GB game on 50Mbit connection":

Mate Calculator: Seems a bit basic, when you can do so much more with Qalculate! https://qalculate.github.io/

You'll probably like rofi.

Also, I use this script so that Rofi will show my clipboard instead of the native klipper UI (because it's far less keyboard friendly). Normally the script works great, but the script chokes whenever I `dd` an empty line or a lone `\`, putting an empty entry on my clipboard, which the wrapper than assumes means I'm at the end of the list of clipboard entries.

Which rofi you run? The original one from https://github.com/davatorium/rofi (which is Xorg base, so it has to start XWayland) or the Wayland-based fork on https://github.com/lbonn/rofi?

OS: Arch Linux WM: Qtile Panel: Qtile bar Launcher: Rofi Notification Daemon: Dunst Terminal: Alacritty Shell: Zsh Compositor: Picom File Manager: Nemo Music Player: Spotify & ncmpcpp

I like rofi (super flexible, i also use it as a custom alt-tab option in openbox) and wofi is a nice option on wayland

Modi are covered in the documentation. They set what Rofi displays in its window. You can run Rofi from a keybind, or a module in Polybar, or by using click handlers. Extremely extensible and versatile. And a shit ton of fun to theme. :)

xwinmosaic: Having tried XMonad.Actions.GridSelect in the past, I found the 2-dimensional grid more confusing than useful because you cannot intuit where it would lay things out. I find Rofi to be more usable for window switching because it prioritizes text filtering. https://github.com/davatorium/rofi
