# rofi-insect
[insect](https://github.com/sharkdp/insect) plugin for [`rofi`](https://github.com/davatorium/rofi) / `dmenu`. This is an analog of [macOS Spotlight calculator functions](https://macandegg.com/2020/12/use-macos-spotlight-search-as-calculator/) for Linux.

## Usage
`insect` is used as the calculator back-end. You can pass any operation `insect` can handle.
## Recommended Installation + Configuration
I integrate this with [`rofi-bangs.sh`](https://github.com/gotbletu/shownotes/blob/master/rofi-scripts-collection/rofi-bangs.sh).
```bash
## ~/.config/rofi/scripts/rofi-bangs.sh
...
# Use calculator (insect)
COMMANDS["calc"]="$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/rofi/scripts/rofi-insect/rofi-insect.sh"
LABELS["calc"]=""
```
And I have `rofi-bangs` integrated with [`sxhkd`](https://github.com/baskerville/sxhkd).
```bash
## ~/.config/sxhkd/sxhkdrc
...
alt + @m
~/.config/rofi/scripts/rofi-bangs.sh
```
I press `Alt + m` on my keyboard, and get the `rofi-bangs` popup. I can then enter `calc` mode.
If you want faster access to the calculator, you can add an entry in your `sxhkdrc` like:
```bash
alt + 7
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/rofi/scripts/rofi-insect/rofi-insect.sh
```
## Dependencies
1. `insect`
2. `xsel`
3. `rofi` or `dmenu`
