If anyone is interested in helping me with Calculor, I would like to fix the conversion for unicode characters, but to do that I would need to reconstruct my dll that has scintilla in it. A friend built the dll for me based on my needs, but we are out of communication now and I don't have the source code. So, basically, if you wanted to help me with this, I would be asking you to help me build a new dll for my scintilla.

Okay, I've updated the application - the new version works properly now (I checked with that atan function).

yes, only got to (needed to

) check it now

The next update will have a global hotkey; I'd publish it now, but I'm serving on a boys' camp. When I get back I'll publish it.

Salve, all! Okay, I've added a user-chosen global hotkey. Maybe someone can try it out for me?

Win.7 x64

right-clicking the tray icon shows:
Global Hotkey Not set
=>
I clicking that a couple of times, in the hope I could change it, but nothing happens. Now calculor no longer responds to mouse input:
also unable to close via [x]
=>
I close it via tray:
on restarting is fine - I click on 'Global Hotkey' and the dialogue shows.
I set hotkey and it works fine.

Thanks for testing for me - I can reproduce that and I know what the problem is; Hopefully I can get it fixed today. I never thought to try selecting the option from the tray menu... (doh!).

if there's another method, I couldnt think of it nor find it

BGM · « **Reply #34 on:** August 15, 2017, 02:23 PM »

tomos - there are two ways that I thought of as "normal"
First, if you right click on the main window, you get the entire menu (this is in the help file).
Second, and I don't think I mentioned this in the help file, in fact, if you type the word hotkey in calculor, it will launch the dialogue.
I'll update the help file, too.

^ I tend to work intuitively

**

I did try a right-click, but only on the titlebar -- which of course was a waste of time. (I think I got disorientated cause the window is so small.)

** my intuitive approach can be helpful though finding bugs :-)

BGM · « **Reply #36 on:** August 17, 2017, 03:40 AM »

Okay, try it now, please!

all methods present and working correctly in latest version (I did a fresh 'install' to test)

I love the 'type hotkey' method -- this is a very impressive piece of software

edit// just in case: I'm off for a couple of weeks so will only be here occasionally the next while

Thanks for the kind words and for your time to test for me! If you have any ideas for features just say so and I'll see what I can do.

Right now my only regret is that I can't fix the part that has to do with the conversion of unicode characters - and that's because I don't have the source files for the scintilla dll that supplies the syntax colouring. Another fellow helped me with that and we are out of touch now. But if I ever figure it out, I'll fix it.

Ath · « **Reply #39 on:** August 17, 2017, 03:23 PM »

AFAICS, scintilla is OSS, so why can't you fetch the sources yourself and build that dll?

BGM · « **Reply #40 on:** August 17, 2017, 03:25 PM »

I've thought of it... and looked at it and was daunted.

Updated to Version 1.6 - August 18, 2017

Fixed: Toggling the menu descriptions would double the Trig menu commands
Fixed: Toggling menu descriptions works also on AutoCalc menu
Fixed: Multiplication was not processed directly against parenthesis; (2+2)2=42; now (2+2)2=8
Fixed: Clipboard was erased or replaced when the window was activated.
Fixed: Clicking on the answer copies it to the clipboard the first time.
Fixed: Sometimes e would not render
Fixed: Now e is reserved for Euler's Number and can't be accidentally assigned as a variable
Fixed: Now you can't type = in the equation unless you are assigning variables with :=
Fixed: Removed conflict between min command and the math function min at start of equation
Added: Dialogue for (Advanced Options) with key command options
Added Option in Advanced Options to set the number of decimal places
Added: Now the Options menu displays the number of decimal places
Fixed: Decimal Places now displays the correct limit in the answer
Fixed: Now the menu item that toggles decimal places automatically changes the answer
Added: Option in Advanced Options to set Max Decimal Places
Added: Max Decimal Places now shows in the menu next to Decimal Places

Great tool. I especially like the lightning fast start-up.

Waiting for a calculator to come up when I need one quickly, that's one main reason I don't use other calculators more often.

It were nice if we could customize the font size (and row height accordingly) - to cater to different screen sizes/ resolutions, or if only to get this right-into-your-face look and feel.

Updated to 1.7; fixed an issue that came with 1.6 where the cursor position would reset itself.

Ha! Calculor found its way onto MajorGeeks today! I receive the rss feed for their site, and I saw it appear there. Amazing how things get around, eh?
