Exactly, the problem with memory buttons is it's easy to forgot (ha!) what's in the memory. With the sibling calculator, you can see everything.

You also can’t perform another calculation with the stored value (other than M+/M-) while also keeping the current accumulator.

I constantly want this feature. Everywhere. Making meetings on the outlook app on my phone for work is a complete and utter chore. I can't look at emails at the same time. While I end up popping everything out on my PC on my phone that's not possible. This is basically the same thing and on a desktop I'd pushed I end up dumping all the info in the scratch pad of an Emacs session phones just don't let you do that.

  I believe Samsungs have this feature. I wish iPhones either supported it in landscape, or got a feature called ‘slide-over’ from iPadOS, where you can float another app on top of your current app, off-screen to the right. There’s a little edge you can then grab and pull over your current app to quickly peek or copy info back-and-forth. When you’re done you just slide back the ‘slide-over’ app. It’s a really clever feature. And I know swiping on the gesture bar exist, but it doesn’t have nearly the same rapid fluidity of slide-over.

  On standard Android phones you can do it. I just tried split screen (GMail on top, Google Calendar at the bottom) and you can create or edit a calendar event while having an open email on top. Looks like this on my phone (Android 13): https://ibb.co/51skSCw https://ibb.co/51skSCw

    Yes but they mean having an Outlook email open while making a calendar event in Outlook. It's the same app. Since they mentioned Outlook at all it's almost certainly a work email.

      That's still possible to do on Android as long as the app allows for that. For example when you compose e new email in Gmail Android app, it starts as a new instance/app and you can split screen, so that you can go through other emails on top half while writing a new email at the bottom half, which is pretty handy when you try to refer to some other email or to fetch some info from another email.

      Just use the web version of Outlook and it’s possible.
