Square root is the inverse of squared, so click "Shift" and see the square root at the x² button.

I just spent 5 minutes looking for the square root button. I even tried holding down various combinations of ctrl- alt- and shift- to see if the buttons would change.

Having to click on "Shift" to see the square root button is not a good user interface.

How about actually pressing the Shift key on the keyboard does the same thing as clicking on the Shift button?
Comment 4 Evan Teran 2013-04-16 16:26:49 UTC 
Unfortunately using the Shift button on the keyboard is a no go, it interferes with other keyboard shortcuts (pretty much half of the number row at the top of the keyboard are math operators accessed though the Shift key).

There is in fact a shortcut (though admittedly I'd like to come up with a better one) "Ctrl+2" will trigger the inverse behavior.

I am going to leave this as "WORKSFORME", but please feel free to file a bug for improving the "Shift" shortcut.

Hello,

No square root button for me.
Is it a bug a missing feature ?

Cheers,
Cyril
