Description of the new feature / enhancement

PowerToys Run has a feature called "Replace input if query ends with =".

It was handy as I used the calculator feature of Run quite often. But the new Command Palette's Calculator extension is currently missing this feature.

Scenario when this would be used?

There are times in which I'm doing a calculation on top of another, and I want to just keep the result of the first calculation to simplify my second calculation (instead of wrapping the whole first part in paranthesis).

Currently I can copy the result by pressing enter or clicking on it, which closes the palette, and then I open it again and continue.

But with the aforementioned feature, it's more seamless; and as it's optional and simple, I don't think it breaks anything else in usability.
