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'.
