DESCCRIPTION
The Input field of Calculator is really weird given it is part of a modern Operating system.

- there is no Cursor
- you can't select text
- pressing backspace does not delete the last digit you typed
- there is no history, you cannot fix a typo by pressing Ctr+Z
- pressing "Delete" deletes the entire formula

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I am aware, that this is how old-school physical calculators used to work, but I think it is impractical in a modern Desktop, for the meta discussion, visit Ticket #463809.

okay I've summarised it here as I felt these bugs will have the same solution ... but anyways, I am currently getting familiar with kde development utils and will assign myself the things I think I can fix.
