Calculator Questions

Calculator Questions

[Chris Green]

Good day,

1) Is there anyway for Calc mode to allow middle mouse clicks to
   insert data?

2) Is there a mode for calc or another package that allows math to be
   done doing interval?

   9:24 - 10:34 = 1h 10m

Thanks,
Chris

Data from where?
The middle mouse click will insert clipboard contents; that has
nothing to do with Calc.

Sure.  Insert H hours, M minutes and S seconds as H@M'S" or
You can use o instead of @ for hours, m in place of ' for minutes, and
s in place of " for seconds when inserting the data.

  9@24' RET
 10@34' RET
 -

gives

 -1@10'0"

I would like to highlight a number into the selection buffer and
paste/yank it into calc.

It has everything to do w/ calc interacting with mouse-yank.. Should
have pasted the error message: insert-for-yank: Buffer is read-only:
#<buffer *Calculator*>.. After chasing for a while I found what works:

   (define-key calc-mode-map [mouse-2] 'calc-yank)

Thanks for the notation example. :)
