Not the most required thing under the Sun, but sometimes it would be handy to quickly calculate such things.

You can do it like this: 2**8
It's because Ulauncher uses Python syntax for math evaluation.
Using ^ to raise a number to a power would be a nice improvement though.

Does Ulauncher supports modulo operator (%)?

@AlwaysBeCalm nope, it does not.
Ulauncher uses Python's ast.parse(expr, mode='eval') to evaluate expressions and that function doesn't seem to recognize '%' sign.
