When writing code I have to do a lot of calculations, opening up MS Calc is lame, especially if I close it by habit and then need the calculation again I have to redo it.
Anyway, this feature would be much like that of minipad2 Calculator Page.
Glad to see that at least someone agrees with the calc idea, for a minute there I thought I was the only one. It looks like Mieszko has a function, now we just need someone who understands the plugin architecture of NP++ to create one. I was also hoping that the NP++ developers would just add it in to the code so that they could add it to the main menubar.
Perhaps something under TextFX->TextFX Tools->Calculator Tool. I still think a blank page in an open tab would be great. You could free-form your calculations, as in minipad2, and thus no highlighting of numbers necessary as the calculation would be run after hitting enter.
Anyway food for thought.

Yes, I agree, but then it becomes another application / window just like MS Calc was.
I'm not too sure how difficult it would be to implement but to have this integrated as another tab would be great; then no Alt-Tab or Externally run programs necessary.
Heck if I had my choice I'd have NP++ come up when I booted my computer and then have it shell out and run Windows XP if I needed something ;)

a calculator plugin would be very nice. I also have to calculate a lot and would appreciate to see such a plugin within NP++. Unfortunately I can't program with C++.

if someone would wrap it, i could provide an 'eval' function as i wrote it not so long ago in c#, so porting it would be easy... but i don't want to mess with plugins & stuff

It could be a plug-in or just a menu item that when clicked would open a new blank page in which you could simply type:
480*4, hit enter and it would put " = 1920" after it, then you will be placed at the next line to enter another calculation.
this would be cool because this page would basically be a built-in calculator that you could switch to and see all your calculations for the day.
<fingers crossed> to have this implemented in my lifetime.
Thank you and great software, I've been using it everyday for nearly 2 years now.

Hello all,
Glad to see that at least someone agrees with the calc idea, for a minute there I thought I was the only one. It looks like Mieszko has a function, now we just need someone who understands the plugin architecture of NP++ to create one. I was also hoping that the NP++ developers would just add it in to the code so that they could add it to the main menubar.

Why not simply use Minipad2 for this, then?
Yes, I agree, but then it becomes another application / window just like MS Calc was.
I'm not too sure how difficult it would be to implement but to have this integrated as another tab would be great; then no Alt-Tab or Externally run programs necessary.

Oh, I see, and Notepad++ should also allow formatting text and accessing databases, I guess?
I agree with Marc,
a calculator plugin would be very nice. I also have to calculate a lot and would appreciate to see such a plugin within NP++. Unfortunately I can't program with C++.
