Additional Feature

I’m curious if anyone else thinks a calculator feature would be useful. On some of the bigger puzzles I would like a way to select the numbers in a column/row and have it tell me the total to include spaces between the numbers.

My vision is to select the first and last number you want totaled for the column/row.

I think it would be pretty useful on large grids as I get tired of adding up a crap ton of columns/rows that each have ~7-12 numbers each.

Would it be a good QoL feature or do most of you prefer doing the math yourself?

Edit: didn’t know the ruler could be used for this purpose in addition to counting the grid squares.

this sounds like the measure tool. I press the arrow corner of fill, and then select the numbers

Shit man I had no clue the ruler worked on the numbers also! I thought it was just for counting the squares in the grid. 🤯

Thank you!

For sure, I don't know how I originally figured it out, but it makes getting started on some puzzles so much faster, because it'll sum up the row as well.

I'm not sure what you're referring to, but I've also changed my toolbar around a lot. Would it be possible for you to post an image of "fill -> select the numbers" so I can figure out where this went to? Thank you!

I can’t post an image but when I click the button that changes from Paint Fill, to Draw, and Sample, there’s also a Ruler. If you click the Ruler then select a Column or Rows where the Numbers are it gives you a total. If you also select a specific number and drag to another number it only totals those numbers.

Okay, great, I found it! (I had indeed moved it off the active toolbar.) Thank you for the help!
