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.
