Kalk is a beautiful Plasma Mobile application developed by @EspiDev and @hanyoung. I think it is near perfect for replacing Kcalc the current kde calculator. Feature missing are:
But Kalk also provides many new functions:
| Status | Assigned | Task | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Open | niccolove | T11093 Improve Consistency across the Board | ||
| Open | None | T12432 Develop convergent kirigami applications to replace desktop-only versions where appropriate | ||
| Open | None | T13950 Replace KCalc with Kalk |
I am wondering if it would make sense to port/move the calculator and unit conversion runner into that repo. Just a thought, because we already have the entire parsing logic available there and could better integrate KRunner.
Of course the prerequisite would be that we can assume that this app is installed alongside plasma.
So you would want Kalc to provide the Plasma calculator Krunner, I think it would make sense but it would require making Kalk pass KDEReview and then releasing it first so that most distros have it on their repository and then make Kalk a recommended dependencies of Plasma.
