Calculator Plugin - Dynamically change decimal separator based on current keyboard language

[ravenodessa]

I live in the country where float number separator could either dot or comma. As far as I tested, FlowLauncher understands only one of them. Could I have a setting in order to have these two separators in calculator?

This is already provided in the plugin setting for Calculator. Go to Settings (typed within Flow or right click on the tray icon) - Plugin - Calculator. Then choose Use System Locale or choose dot or comma specifically.

Many thanks for quick answer! Yes, really, I missed this setting. But my problem is, when I have Ukrainian language set in my OS, then my decimal separator is coma. When I have English language set in my OS, then my decimal separator is dot. So there is a great idea, if FlowLauncher would understand both separators on the fly. I hope I described clearly, English is not my native.

I understand what you mean so have re-opened the feature request and updated the title

it's not a trivial scenario that user frequently changes system language. could you please share the reason why you change it?

Oh, maybe we have a misunderstanding. I mean, I have 2 languages in my system: Ukrainian and English. In my keyboard I have a numpad with decimal separator. But: when I switch like Ctrl+Shift into Ukrainian language, this decimal separator is coma. When I switch language into English, the decimal separator in my keyboard numpad is dot. I don't change my system every several minutes😊

Hi, it's the keyboard layout that allows you type the decimal seaprator in comma. It seems that no way we can read this setting.

Thank you for your answer! As far as I know, there are only 2 decimal separators: comma and dot. I suppose, Flow Launcher could handle both of them, so there is no need to read this setting from Windows keyboard layout.
