otter-calc - Otter Shell

otter-calc evaluates math expressions from the command line. Pass --copy to put the result on the clipboard.

Usage

Pass your expression as a single argument or as multiple arguments. otter-calc joins them before evaluating.

otter-calc '2 + 3 * 4'          # evaluates to 14
otter-calc 2 + 3 '* 4'          # arguments are joined
otter-calc --copy '(2 + 3) * 4' # evaluate and copy result

Configuration

otter-calc reads ~/.config/otter-shell/otter-calc.conf.

copy_result = false

copy_result: true always copies the result without passing --copy

--copy uses the shared Otter clipboard helper (otter-copy). In packaged installs, wl-copy is shadowed to otter-copy so clipboard integration works transparently.
