PowerToys Run Calculator Expansion

Created on 6 Jun 2020  路  3Comments  路  Source: microsoft/PowerToys

Summary of the new feature/enhancement

Expand the calculator by implementing bit shifting, modulus operations, and bitwise operators like on macOS' Spotlight, as well as allowing an implicit multiplication when a number is next to a parenthesized number.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Examples:

  • 5 << 4 * 2 = 1280
  • (24 >> 2) - 1 = 6
  • 5 % 3 = 2
  • 15 & 3 = 3
  • 26 | 5 = 31
  • 2(40) = 80

This _might_ be useful for people who are familiar with there operations, but can be very confusing for people who are not.

Those who are not familiar with these operations can either learn about them or would not be trying to use them in the first place.

this work item may solve this: https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/2265 which will encompass https://github.com/microsoft/calculator/issues/526

Need to validate what items it will enable.
