#Lavendeux A small calculator for programmers. Allows you to perform calculations from within any text editor using one keyboard shortcut - CRTL-Space

One expression per line, leading whitespace is preserved

How to use it

Copy the following block of text into your favourite text editor, highlight it and press CTRL-Space:

x = 8 + 3e+2
x = sqrt(16)
x**3 @hex   

Or, alternatively, turn auto copy/paste off in the menu, and CTRL-Space will instead solve any expressions in your clipboard, and replace them with the answer
