Area/perimeter calculations in table

Question

In ArcView3.2 I used Xtools a lot, just click and it calculated area/perimeter for every polygon, in QGIS I am choosing column and write $area after the "Epsilon" + update.

Is there some simple way for a beginner like me to simplify the calculus-command to a button or keyboard-shortcut

Check some details about "Forms", here an example of using it: https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/398215/automatically-updating-the-attribute-table. I hope it is what you needed — Taras, Jun 18 '21 at 08:41
Why is the area result different between the plug in and the $area — Åke Eriksson, Jun 19 '21 at 08:53
plugin $area BLOCKID AREA AREA 65584693859 40781.697998046875 40814.183 65584696138 28063.176025390625 28085.494 65584693061 22589.4482421875 22607.372 65584691338 3985.118408203125 3988.303 65584691643 1794.15185546875 1795.561
the two columns i the right is in squaremeters — Åke Eriksson, Jun 19 '21 at 08:54
(I am sorry for flooding the forum) What do you need, the shapefile? I was adding a chart but it looks like it didnt work — Åke Eriksson, Jun 22 '21 at 08:12
i think i choose the wrong ellipsoid, now its the (almost) same — Åke Eriksson, Jul 05 '21 at 12:55

Simply choose the Identify Features-icon, click on any feature and get the information you want from the section (derived) - see screenshot (be aware to use an appropriate CRS to get meaningful values):
