I had an idea for a calculator that opens on a window identical to that of whichever terminal you use, same background and font color, etc., but with buttons and all, and that is correctly tiled by the window manager.

Is this possible? Has it already been done? Where to start?
it'd be pretty neat if GUI applications could replace / "return" to terminal windows desu

Too limited. Doesn't work on bash and shells frequently don't have a good math support. Just use bc.
Kayden Brown
python interactive mode does math

Just use some REPL programming lang, i use J.

Ctrl-Alt-J allows you to use it with vi keybinds too

use i3get to get the id of the current window (terminal), spawn calculator window on scratchpad, swap calculator window with terminal window. Or make layout of terminal window tabbed, mark it, then move calculator to mark.
