Description

Add saving calculator input.

- save calculations as a json file in settings
- will need to figure out how to trigger the save function as calculation query results do not require hitting enter

### Discussed in https://github.com/Flow-Launcher/Flow.Launcher/discussions/2615

Originally posted by **AlennGK** March 23, 2024
Since Launchy, I missed this feature not only for calculations, but also for other commands. I tried KP which has a problem with memory limitation/absence. Is there a similar or different problem to add this cache feature to FL?

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the calculator plugin, its query-result path, and the settings persistence mechanism; review discussion 2615 for the intended cache behavior. Done means calculator inputs are saved as JSON in settings, including a defined trigger for results that do not require Enter.
