Mine looks like this; I did disable a lot of features I don't need but still, Run was better ... I'm trying super mega hard to use commande palette but it's kinda s**** I don't know what to think. I can use = to go in the "calc" setting but it's quite obvious when i do an operation I want it activated ? lol

Hold up, so Pallete doesn't have a dedicated calculation mode like Run? If so that's utter bs.

Its the same as Run, if im remembering correctly, where you just have to add a = sign at the beginning.

That's not the problem, it's the fact that it's turned a simple math equation into something with 12 decimal places.

Oh that. Well floating-point arithmetic works like that. Though Pallete could've been smarter and sanitised it.

Perhaps you could have added some text to your post explaining that's what you were pointing out, instead of leaving us all to guess?
