Clearing input after adding to history

[slashinfty]

Hey, thanks for the add-on to Rofi.

Is it possible to clear the input bar after pressing Return and having the result added to history? Could -calc-command be used for this?

Thanks in advance!

I don't think this currently possible. I'd accept a contribution for this. Should be easy enough. Maybe use one of these custom input modes? We already use kb-accept-custom so perhaps you could use kb-accept-alt? Should be pretty easy to add to calc_mode_result() if you wanna take a stab at this.

I'd also accept a contribution for adding a flag that always has this behavior on normal Return. What do you think?

I think a flag would be my preferred choice. I agree that I do not think it's possible at the moment. I am unfamiliar with rofi development (or C for that matter), but I could theoretically explore it myself. Might still be better for someone else with experience to tackle it, though.

I don't like C either. If you wanna tackle it, I'm very much up for a rewrite of rofi-calc to Rust. :P
