Hello everyone,

It occurred to me that there was no shortcut for launching the calculator in Xfce4-appfinder when you enter a calculation.
Here is my attempt to create one:

Type: Regular Expression
Pattern: ^([0-9+\-*/% ]*)$
Command: gnome-calculator -e \0

Bye

Sorry for the (very) long reply.
Notice that all default custom actions are launched by their Generic Name, unfortunately I'm not aware of a Generic Name for calculator apps, therefore we cannot not rely on gnome-calculator being installed.

With all said, I think it's wiser to keep this kind of custom action to be defined by the user, instead of shipping a suggestion to use a specific app.

Bug #10727
