Uno Calculator function Neutered

Hello

So I installed Uno Calculator from AUR. It’s the Windows calculator clone.
I’ve discovered there is (no paste from clipboard function).
Even a basic calculator should have copy/paste function.

Are there any hacks to enable clipboard-paste into Uno-Calculator application?

Thanks

Did this support pasting from the clipboard? :thinking:

Looking at the UI of UNO calculator, it seems like the numbers are input in a label programmatically, rather than having a an editable text box. So copy paste doesn’t look possible at first glance.

Going out of direction, I’ll suggest you to use a different calculator application if you really need copy paste function. These won’t have a very polised user interface as compared to Uno, but they have the features you’d need.

qalculate looks feature-full. I haven’t used this. https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/qalculate-gtk/

If you need units converter, then there is “convert all”, which I sometimes use. I have it installed just in case I need it. Has many units to convert. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/convertall/

If you are comfortable using the terminal, then there is quich. This is the one I mainly use. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/quich/

Galculator allows SOME cut/paste actions - have you tried that? Number of modes, (including paper mode and scientific) and reasonably capable…

Not familiar with Windows anymore - when they added to EULA to XP I was outta there… :grin: Even though Windows ME was actually good to me.

Well since I just require a “dumbed-down” calculator I installed Superbcalc which I use to easily calculate percentages.

And I use Pantheon or Galculator for general usage.
I just found Uno Calculator to have a polished look with large displayed numbers that is nice.

Thanks

The first thing I do when I install EOS is uninstall Gcalculator and install gnome-calculator (if i forgot to un-check it in live installer in the first place). In my opinion it’s the best there is. I like it has history and allows writing multiple operations in one go. If you click on a line in history it brings back those numbers so you can work with them. It’s a real productivity improving tool. I’m missing most of its features when working on my phone.

Also it looks dumb enough for me while still looking pretty good.
