SUMMARY In "Numeral System Mode," the numeral system is selected with a combo box. In "Science Mode" and "Statistic Mode," the angle mode is selected with radio buttons despite occupying the same space as the combo box in numeral system mode. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Settings -> Numeral System Mode 2. Observe combo box for numeral system selection 3. Open Settings -> Science Mode or Statistic Mode 4. Observe radio buttons for angle mode selection OBSERVED RESULT Angle mode is selected with radio buttons while numeral system is selected with a combo box. EXPECTED RESULT Angle mode/ numeral system should both be selected with the same type of widget, either a radio button group OR a combo box to improve UI consistency. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.16.0 Qt Version: 6.9.1
I would like to work on this issue. Personally, I think the cleanest approach is to use a combo box for both angle mode selection and numeral mode selection.
I'm realizing we would lose the Alt+Key combos for the angle mode selector if we switched to a combo box. How big of a priority is maintaining these shortcuts?

Actually, I would prefer radio buttons for both modes. This makes changing between options a single-click rather than two clicks. And indeed some people use keyboard shortcuts. The current combo button for the numeric base takes up the same amount of space as the radio buttons anyway, so isn't really saving anything.
