Hi!
= on a German keyboard is Shift+0, a "2 hands character" making it very uncomfortable to enter formulas.

IMHO allowing + and - to (optionally) start a formula would allow creating formulas with one hand by using the numeric block and the cursor keys.

And be compatible with Excel handling of this matter.
