Tip: Run A Quick Calc

Question: Ok, do I have to enter this calc mode & mess with it's buffer? . . .

Answer: No, you don't. There is a quick calc command, also. However, you cannot kill (the answer) to paste it.

= It will let you enter the expression in the mini-buffer (or echo area) and not jump you to another buffer view. Thus, the quick moniker, and it vanishes. When you resume typing on the file.

• Enter the quick calc mode: Alt-#, q.
• Enter an algebraic expression, hit enter, and view your answer.
• Exit quick calc mode: Alt-#, q.
