You know you're a long-time #NVDA user when instead of opening a calculator app, you just open the NVDA Python console and solve your equation there. Is that just me? #NVDASR

I'm a long-time NVDA user and, thannks to you, I was today years old when I learned that you could do this. Many thanks.

Oh hey, since you're here, you can also play with something like:
```
import tones
tones.beep(500, 500)
```

Calcute is another program I hadn't heard of. Thanks for making me aware of it.

If you are really looking for something functional and have some technical knowhow, it's CLI though, check out calc, isthe.com/chongo/tech/comp/cal…. It's a C-style arbitrary precision calculator with absolutely gobs of functions, it's got readline for history, variables, the ability to define functions including in an rc-style file I think etc. Doesn't build natively on Windows, but you can build it in Cygwin.

I do that whenever I remember NVDA can do that. Which isn't often. Lmao

I have a calculator assigned to alt+f12 at home (it came that way on install).
I also have alt+f12 as an NVDA console gesture in my portable copy, though...

I've used this trick hundreds of times during my high-school years.

To the point of writing tiny programs to find/verify some complicated solution sometimes.
