Easy calculations with Typinator

With Typinator's Inline Calculation set, you can quickly perform calculations directly within a text document or any input field. Let's briefly explore how to use this feature:

Instructions

1. Open Typinator and click Extensions in the main menu.
2. Add the Inline Calculations set.
3. You'll find this set in the 'Regular Expressions' section on the left, which includes a predefined abbreviation.

Performing a calculation

Type 1+1=? and Typinator will instantly convert it to the result '2'.

Having made a basic calculation, we can now modify this to retain the calculation and append the result.

Further instructional details

1. Duplicate the existing abbreviation, remove the question mark from it, and then press the 'Cmd' key."
2. You should now have FORMULA=\⌘ in your abbreviation field.
3. Now change the expansion to the following:

$0{{#$1}}

Performing a calculation

Type 1+1= and press the 'cmd' key and Typinator will instantly add '2' as result and it will look like 1+1=2.

This inline calculation feature makes it convenient to perform on-the-fly calculations without needing to open a separate calculator or application. It's a handy tool for users who frequently work with numbers and need quick results within their text-based workflow.

Do you want to do some more math?

Here is an example to round your result to a full integer value.

1. Duplicate the abbreviation like before.
2. Change the abbreviation to FORMULA=!
3. Add the following to your expansion.

{{#round($1)}}

Performing a calculation

Type 1+3,6=! and Typinator will instantly round it to the result '5'.
