Release Notes

Added

• A calculator panel. Type an expression, press Enter. Suggested by a reader
  on r/rust.

  2 + 3 * 4 is 14, not 20 — precedence is the arithmetic kind and brackets
  work. A pocket calculator gives 20, and that was the other candidate; it lost
  because what this replaces is bc or python3 -c, not a desk calculator, and
  anyone typing 2+3*4 at a terminal would read 20 as a bug. An operator typed
  straight after an answer carries it forward, which covers what a memory key
  was for. y sends the answer to the clipboard, and what you have worked out
  lands on a tape below.

  An answer too wide for the panel is shown in scientific notation rather than
  cut. Everywhere else in mirador a value that will not fit reads as a narrow
  terminal; here a number missing its tail is a different number, and nothing on
  screen would say so.

  While this panel has focus, 1–9 type digits instead of jumping to a
  panel. It is the only panel that changes what a global key does, and it is
  unavoidable — a calculator needs the digits. Tab still moves focus, and q,
  ?, w, m and t all still work.

  There is no memory key, no percent key and no functions, and nothing is kept
  when you quit.

Changed

• The default layout now places thirteen panels rather than twelve, with the
  calculator on the reading row beside the news and the watch log. Jump keys
  stop at 9, so the pomodoro joins the CPU and network panels in not having
  one. An existing config is never rewritten, so this affects new installs and
  configs with no [layout] block.
