CalcEdit combines a serious text editor with a calculation model that stays alive as the document changes. This guide explains what each capability adds to the workflow.
Finish a line with => and its answer appears next to the text as an editor decoration rather than becoming part of the document. A separate mode can insert results into the text when they need to be selected or copied.
CalcEdit brings syntax colours, document-aware suggestions, multiple cursors, safe renaming, find and replace, syntax-based selection and a searchable command palette. Three palettes adapt to light and dark themes, while an optional minimap keeps long documents navigable.
Open appAssign clear names to the parts of a calculation and reuse them further down the document. Changing an input immediately refreshes every dependent line, turning the note into a model instead of a frozen result.
Open appLengths, durations, masses, temperatures, data sizes and currencies behave as values rather than comments. The in keyword converts mixed units, while incompatible dimensions remain visible instead of collapsing into a misleading number.
Add #slider after a definition to control its number by dragging. Bounds, step size and optional animation are stored in the same plain-text comment, so shared documents retain the intended interaction.
plot(...) can draw one function, several curves or a measurement series, with units supplying the axis labels. Pointer inspection reads every curve at a position, and the embedded view supports zooming and panning.
A directive such as @de-DE changes decimal and grouping conventions from that line onward. New documents follow the browser preference, and CalcEdit can offer to convert numbers already present when the convention changes.
Unknowns can remain symbolic until they are solvable, and expressions simplify instead of failing. Derivatives, Taylor series and matrices are available as regular functions; unresolved answers return as reduced expressions.
Open appCalcEdit produces a laid-out PDF with genuine page numbers, working hyperlinks and vector-rendered figures. Charts therefore remain crisp when printed or enlarged.
Open appOnce opened online, CalcEdit can be installed and continue working without a connection. Documents autosave in the browser, and a new release is announced before it replaces the running version.
Open appCalcEdit shares Calca’s plain-text document format while adding a more capable editor and extra features. A file can move between the two applications and remains readable in any ordinary text editor.
