Description mattmunee 2024-07-23 18:01:39 UTC 
SUMMARY
In all calculators I've come across, after a calculation is completed by clicking equals, typing a number will clear the previous result and begin a new calculation.  In KCalc, after a calculation is completed by clicking equals, typing a number will append the number to the previous calculation result.  This is unintuitive and makes it burdensome to complete multiple independent calculations sequentially.

2. Type *
3. Type 3
4. Type = (or Enter)
