Commands, not numbers. (what is the equivalent of +/- or 1/x?) Algebraic calculators don't have a lot of useful information to display when used properly, maybe the contents of memory registers but not much else. The screen estate can be used for anything, might as well be a cheatsheet. > where you have to move your hands off the keyboard and move your mouse to press a button Command cheatsheet, not number cheatsheet obviously (doubling as input won't hurt). Having numbers on it is excessive, as I already said Qalculate does it the weird way.

It sems you're still talking about some idealized vim-calculator instead of this app > Command cheatsheet, not number cheatsheet How do sin/cos/tan/e/p/i/ln/kg/mod buttons (that take most of the screen real estate ignoring the numbers) help you "cheat"? Do they help you discover sin/cos? Or is there some shortcut label that helps you remember how to toggle some extra options without using a mouse?

  You can hide the number pad from the keys. Or hide the keys entirely. Or keep them and customize which functions they activate, including custom user-defined functions.

    could I keep only half of all the keys (e.g., I'd never need 0-9 or cursor keys, but then maybe ANS is useful), reoder them and attach a shortcut to each button? Or replacing sin with the rad/degree switcher (without the dropdown)?
    - SAI_Peregrinus 3y ago
      Yes, you can hide all the 0-9 keys. And add rad/degree buttons. And set whatever functions/settings you can have elsewhere in the UI as buttons. And add or remove columns/rows from the "keypad". The upper-left button in the custom keypad will always be to edit the custom keypad itself, otherwise it's fully modifiable by the user.

        oh, that's very nice! Do you happen to know a place with a good collection of those UI customizations not to start from scratch?
