Mate Calculator

Axios

Does anybody know a good replacement that gives me the ability to save the history or copy it so I can
save it to a text file.
The mate one does not and making screenshots isnt hacking it..lol

sudo eopkg it libqalculate

Thats good little calc lots stuff in it but it doesnt do the history right either.
I will use winders when I am running numbers cause I got keep detailed history.
Thanks for the reply

They ported winders calc over to linux but I dont want install a snap..
Guess microsoft opend it up so it could be copied.

kcalc can copy history, nasc can save history but it has less graphical buttons

edit: i imagine it would be annoying to install a bunch of kde dependencies on your mate install though.

speedcrunch and nasc are advanced calculators with history export. nasc can export to PDF (and web), speedcrunch can do plain text and html exports. You can copy and paste from both.

Axios

Ya but I want the total history the formula and the result.
Its either or with these linux ones
Windows gives both in history as you enter it.
Unless I am missing something with these got be gui to.
Dunno will do more searching and testing

Axios You get both formula and result in the history; at least with nasc (I'd have to check but think for speedcrunch it's the same) They are GUI, but as Joey said, they are mostly used with the keyboard anyway (i.e. almost no buttons).

Axios

ahhh you got use export to .txt in speed crunch to get a running history text file
thats what I was after.

These days I use julia/python in terminal to calculate even simple stuff, terminal will keep all your inputs (even if you close the terminal or shutdown the device) so you can quickly cycle trough them with arrows, all your outputs are displayed in-line as long as the session is open so you can quickly access them as well.
