Emacs: quick-calc

You probably have heard about famous emacs M-x calc. I always wanted to become a poweruser of it but never could. My needs are too simple for it, I just want to quickly add/subtract numbers.

Recently I’ve discovered built-in M-x quick-calc which is perfect for what I need. It is already bound to C-x * q.

You can quickly calculate what’s needed and the result is going to be saved to the kill-ring. You can paste the result in place if you want by prefixing the command with C-u.

Emacs has everything :)
