Well, I think it would be nice to have exponents to be placed as superscript. But for simple math functions (+, -, *, /,...) a simple message box is indeed enough.
And a nice addition would be to place a custom toolbar above the original toolbar, since the real toolbar wouldn't work anyway. :P

The problems I think about:
  • How can the script see where the tab/box should be placed? Placing it vertically is easy with a bottom margin, but the user can hide the display pictures, making it harder to set the correct right margin.
  • What about resizing the text area? How would the box react on that?
  • How can you make it act as a real tab, like making the other tabs unselected? So it doesn't look like you don't have 2 tabs activated.
If there is a practical solution to fix these, I actually see this script become reality. :)
