I found out this isn't as well-known as I thought, and it's pretty useful, so I'm sharing it here.
You can use Spotlight in OS X as a calculator by typing in the calculations. If you're already typing something, you don't even have to leave the keyboard - ⌘+spacebar opens the Spotlight query, and you can start typing straight away.
Hmm maybe this isn't as well-known either. You can also use Spotlight as a dictionary, by using the same method.
love this!
ReplyDeletedid you know you can even do stuff like
(95*4)-(482/530)
as in with the brackets...so good considering that's not an actual calculator application!
Yeah maybe we can solve the question "10+2x3=?" on Facebook. What's more amazing is it can do trigonometry and exponents as well!
ReplyDeleteI realised people may not know it can be used as a dictionary either.
Do you read this blog? I didn't know anyone read it haha.
