for computation, and gives back result in menu prompt.

.TP
\fB\-m\fR, \fB\-\-menu\fR=\fI\,MENU\/\fR
Select menu to use. Defaults to rofi, bemenu, or dmenu (in this order of
precedence), depending on which is available. The menu should accept
newline-delimited options from standard input and should print out the user
input, which should either be a computation for
.BR qalc (1)
or one of the options from the standard input.

.TP
\fB\-g\fR, \fB\-\-gui\fR=\fI\,PROG\/\fR
Select GUI program to use when selecting "Open in GUI". Defaults to
qalculate-gtk or qalculate-qt (in this order of precedence), depending on which
is available. The GUI program should accept the initial expression as the first
argument.

.TP
\fB\-n\fR, \fB\-\-no\-opts\fR
Disables default options for menu program, which are
\fB-dmenu -p {}\fR for rofi,
\fB-p {} -cl 3 -W 0.2\fR for bemenu,
and \fB-p {}\fR for all else.
See \fBMENU OPTIONS\fR for more information.

.TP
\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR
Display short help and exit.

.SH MENU OPTIONS
.PP
The options that are passed to the menu are the default options (unless
\fB\-\-no\-opts\fR is specified) and the options specified in
\fI\,MENU_OPTIONS\/\fR, in that order. Any instances of the text \fB{}\fR is
replaced with the prompt, which is "=" if there is no query or of the form
"= \fIANSWER\fR", where \fIANSWER\fR is the response from
.BR qalc (1).
