Keyboard shortcut for Calculator....

So on clean install, we have shortcuts for Web, File Manager, and other common stuff...
Lets get the calculator on there, every install I have to do this manually, been adding it for years. Lets make it a default after install, here you go, Keybind...

.xbindkeysrc
# Calculator
"kcalc"
    Mod4 + c

Also KCALC is a nice basic calculator because it has the reciprocal function and engineering stuff easily accessible, a lot of us programmers like it, maybe make that the default calculator too.

Re: Keyboard shortcut for Calculator....

I don't mind the idea of a keyboard shortcut, though I'd set a different one here since I have muscle memory from the one Windows uses with my keyboard...

As to the default galculator pulls just itself in all of ~170KB

kcalc errr 49 packages.. ~50MB
Basic?
And that's specifying  --no-install-recommends jeez is it a supercomputer?

Or does it just pull in half of KDE Plasma so it feels at home?

Yes kcalc pulls in like half the KDE desktop and I use galculator instead as it has pretty much the useful functions I'd use.

User modification. Nice, but we won't be enabling that keybind or application by default.

I don't care what you do at home. Would you care to explain?
