What about using Kspread?
by ScottZ on Monday 27/Sep/2004, @13:31
I agree what just about everything you are saying.
However, I think that the improved calculator already exists: KSpread.

Talk about overkill ;-)

But yeah, I'd rather use KSpread than kcal.

In fact, I have been using

Alt+F2 gg:2+3

    Why not use "Alt+F2 2+3"? Much faster.

      Lol! Great :D

      But wtf is the ^ operator??? I expected power...
      Hmmm ** works as power. Oh and % for mod, nice.

      Are there plans for floating point arithmetic support?

        I am guessing ^ is xor like it is in C.

      "Alt + F2 2x2" Reply: 'Sorry KDesktop: could not run the specified command' ;)

      I LMAO. :-D

      It's definitely a nice feature to impress your friends, but since "Alt+F2 2/3" outputs 0 and it lacks a history (which is the only serious problem of kcalc) it's not a useful replacement for bc -l.

      Where is floating point?

      0.5*2 do nothing
      0,5*2 = 10 (it seems it ignore everything before the comma)
      we also miss sin,cos,log,ln,ecc..
      Can we improve it?

      Ciao
      Andrea

    My favorite calculator: calc - the C style calculator:
    http://www.isthe.com/chongo/tech/comp/calc/

    Beats any graphical calculator IMHO - and maybe is a bit like the one you have written...

KSpread isn't that great as a straight calculator application. What KDE really needs is a nice native interface for XCas:
http://www-fourier.ujf-grenoble.fr/~parisse/giac.html

In its TI-89 compatibility mode, it makes an excellent everyday-use calculator with bonus super-advanced capabilities (symbolic integration, for example), but the user interface is not very nice. With a little work on a KDE frontend it could be awesome. Students would love it.
