<p>I saw the other patch for converting strings which are pasted to kcalc where it may cause problems since the meaning of separators in the string is not clear.<br />
But this patch only adds another shortcut key. The digit group separator should normally not be entered manually but only shown automatically to help the user.</p>
<p>Other calculators also allow to use both "." and "," as decimal separator (e.g. galculator and calc from Windows) this behavior should be fine.<br />
For me the main problem with the current behavior is that in all programming languages the dot is used and I automatically use the dot also in the calculator. Maybe accepting both separators is also useful in other situations.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R353 KCalc</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D15680">https://phabricator.kde.org/D15680</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>apichlkostner, cfeck, teran<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>kde-utils-devel<br /></div>
