SUMMARY

The history is currently a simple list view with text strings.

To pick up an older calculation, you have to:

1. Select the text with the cursor
2. Right click and choose Copy
3. Right click into the input field and choose paste

This is obviously a very bad UX.

Keep in mind that in case of 3. there even exists an annoying bug: the paste entry will become grayed out, when you re-focus KCalc - I will open another bug report for that.

SpeedCrunch does this much better: Here you have a list view too, but the items are not select-able text, but are pasted automatically into the input field on double click!
