# bemenu-qalc
A simple [bemenu](https://github.com/Cloudef/bemenu) calculator using `qalc` (powerful and easy to use calculator, supporting complex math, conversions and more...), inspired by [Nicolas RAYMOND's dmenu-calc](https://github.com/Helcoume/dmenu-calc).
The preview uses my wrapper for bemenu: [bemenu-orange-wrapper](https://github.com/tkapias/bemenu-orange-wrapper).
## Dependencies
- [qalc](https://github.com/Qalculate/libqalculate)
- [bemenu >= 0.6](https://github.com/Cloudef/bemenu)
- [Nerd Fonts (Symbols Only)](https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/latest)
- Bash >= 5
- setsid
- xclip
### Optional
- [bemenu-orange-wrapper](https://github.com/tkapias/bemenu-orange-wrapper)
- [qalculate-gtk: Qalculate!](https://github.com/Qalculate/qalculate-gtk)
## Installation
### Dependencies
- Debian example with [bemenu-orange-wrapper](https://github.com/tkapias/bemenu-orange-wrapper):
1. Follow [bemenu-orange-wrapper instructions](https://github.com/tkapias/bemenu-orange-wrapper?tab=readme-ov-file#installation).
2. Next:
``` bash
# xclip, setsid, qalc, qalculate-gtk
sudo apt install xclip util-linux qalc qalculate-gtk
```
### bemenu-qalc
```bash
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/tkapias/bemenu-qalc.git bemenu-qalc
cd bemenu-qalc
chmod +x bemenu-qalc.bash
```
- Optional: Symlink to a directory in your user's path:
```bash
ln -s $PWD/bemenu-qalc.bash $HOME/.local/bin/bemenu-qalc
```
## Features
- History: persistant, resetable.
- Clipboard: copy the last result.
- Keybindings: bemenu Default + Vim-like, displayable.
- Previous result: auto reuse, clearable.
- Link to GUI: qalculate-gtk
## Usage
bemenu-qalc relies entirely on the dynamic actions provided inline, bemenu controls and qalc syntax.
The history is stored in `$HOME/.local/state/bemenu-qalc-history.txt`. It is persistant and resetable inline.
### Integrations
- Binding example for bemenu-qalc in i3wm:
```i3wm
bindsym $mod+c exec --no-startup-id "bemenu-qalc"
```
