calculation in kickoff

SUMMARY
Hello,
I find the calculation integrated in Kickoff very useful for quick calculations, but sometimes I would like to add more steps to the current calculation. At the moment I have to open the Kcalc app and do the first calculation again. I think it would be very nice to make Kickoff open Kcalc by pressing ENTER when a calculation is open.

Please take a look to the attached screenshot. In this situation I think it would be nice to automatically open Kcalc pressing ENTER. If Kcalc is not installed it should do nothing.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Kickoff
2. Do a calculation
3. On the "Calculation" entry press ENTER

OBSERVED RESULT
It does nothing

EXPECTED RESULT
It should open Kcalc (if it's not possible to share the first calculation, opening Kcalc is also good)

krunner puts the result of the calculation as the next query when pressing enter.
