Plugins · skal.menu

Type the math, get the answer, press Enter.

Omarchy's launcher had no calculator, no web fallback, and no way for a plugin to add them. So we cloned the menu itself and taught the search box arithmetic. SUPER+SPACE feels the same; it just answers back.

What it does

Why it stays installed.

Calculator

The search box does arithmetic

Type 2+2, (3+4)*2, sqrt(144), 0xff+1, or 5 km to mi and the answer rides above every other result. Press Enter and it is on your clipboard. Queries that are not math never trigger it, so 1password still finds 1Password.

Flatpaks

Apps the launcher forgot

Flatpak exports sit outside the session's app path, so Discord, Slack, and Mattermost never made it into results. The menu scans the export dirs itself, icons included, and launches with flatpak run.

flatpak run com.slack.Slack

Fallback

Every query ends at the web

Nothing matched? The last row offers a web search for whatever you typed, one Enter away in your default browser. It is the Walker behavior the native menu lost.

Glyphs

Symbols by name

shrug, em dash, arrow right, euro: a few characters of typing instead of a character-map safari. Enter copies the glyph.

Install

One command, one gotcha

sh
$ omarchy plugin add https://github.com/outcrop-labs/skal-menu.git --enable --yes

A current omarchy bug silently unpersists menu plugin enables: if the calculator vanishes after a reboot, add {"id": "skal.menu"} to the plugins array in ~/.config/omarchy/shell.json and restart the shell. The README walks you through it.
