Re: Some good points, but most don't make sense...

Well, I know people who will indeed use their mouse rather than typing, especially since that make them do basically the same thing as they are used to outside a computer. It's exactly the same thing as the "bin" to suppress files : many people still drag the file to the bin. You'd better get used to it since this will remain.
And you'll find that many people understand the square root button on Kcalc, but don't know that square root is the same as **0.5.

Your proposal is nice for a scientist. It's not as nice for the next guy.
With all its defaults, Kcalc can be used by anyone without even reading a manual. For your proposal, don't count on it.

Best regards,
