Charles Garrison Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 When using Alfred to calculate percentages, "137*.29" works great, but "137*29%" fails. This is the one spotlight feature I feel is missing. Link to comment
vitor Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Welcome @Charles Garrison, The percent sign already has a special meaning in Alfred’s calculator, for the modulo operator (available in the advanced mode), so changing it to mean percentages might be confusing or cause breaking changes. There could be a settings toggle, but I’m not sure it would be worth it when the point solution exists. Alan He 1 Link to comment
Charles Garrison Posted March 4, 2021 Author Share Posted March 4, 2021 I tend to agree with your point and I'm not sure it's worth a change. On that note, if you do decide to make a change... I think it would make sense to allow character escaping in the way that you can do with regular expressions. So 3*5% would become 3*5\% - obviously this enables a new power-user feature and everyone else would continue to operate as usual. Charles Link to comment
