Hello, Emacs.
I find the calculator.el in Emacs is handy. However, there are two
things I'd like to see changed.
1. Press F1 results in `??bad key?? (f1)'.
2. Can't enter exponent by `E'.
Both of them can be reproduced by: (1) emacs -Q; (2) M-x calculator; (3)
Press `F1' or `E'. I have the following patch trying to fix the above
two things. Please let me know if I'm doing things wrong.
Best Regards,
Chris

Subject: [PATCH] Minor improvements for lisp/calculator.el.
* calculator.el (calculator-mode-map): Bind `E' for `calculator-exp'.
(calculator-last-input): Fix a bug that press F1 results in
`??bad key?? (f1)'.

Two cents from another calc user:
`E' is already bound. It is bound to calc-exp, the exponential function
e^x. For example (where "Calc: " is the calculator prompt and the stack
is shown above it):
--- Emacs Calculator Mode ---
.
Calc: 1 <RET>
--- Emacs Calculator Mode ---
1: 1
.
Calc: E
--- Emacs Calculator Mode ---
1: 2.71828182846
.
This is not to be confused with `e' which introduces the exponent
when entering a number in scientific notation:
--- Emacs Calculator Mode ---
.
Calc: 1e3
--- Emacs Calculator Mode ---
1: 1000
.
It would be a disaster if the exponential function were no longer
available!
As far as F1 for help goes, it is incongruent with the calculator
interface. For different types of help, `?', `h i', `C-h m' etc. are
available.
However, F1 is familiar for users from other platforms, so I think it
might be a good addition for the benefit of new or infrequent users.

Emacs has two built-in calculators; calculator.el, which is a basic
scientific calculator, and Calc, which is more extensive.
The original bug report was for calculator.el, in which E is currently
undefined. I'm not sure who should address this bug report, but if
nobody else does, I will.

Good point, I can make the change (for F1 only) in Calc, too.

Oops, missed that. Sorry. Please disregard what I wrote. (Although
adding F1 for help seems plausible for both calculators.)

I tried `M-x calculator' now, and both F1 and E seemed to be doing what
you'd expect, so I'm closing this bug report.

Hello Lars,
Thank you. It is indeed fixed in the master branch, but the issue is
still in the pretest 25.0.91. Do you test it in the master branch?
Would you please port the fix to the emacs-25 branch? If so, it will
be fixed in 25.1. I think the commits are:
6148555 * | * lisp/calculator.el (calculator-define-key): Undo last change
c77b816 * | * lisp/calculator.el (calculator-define-key): Silence warning
f248292 * | * lisp/calculator.el: more improvements and bugfixes.
1b4570b * | * lisp/calculator.el: Re-do key bindings.
e875e68 * | * lisp/calculator.el: improve radix modes
5d74a02 * | * lisp/calculator.el: better reading of register names
fb9ed79 * | * lisp/calculator.el: General improvements
Thank you,
Chris

I don't understand: the original bug report described 2 minor issues
and provided a 2-line fix for them. How come we are now back-porting
no less than 7 commits from master? Can't we install on emacs-25 just
those two changed lines?

It was fixed in a completely different way, I think...
Anyway, these aren't bugs (but rather enhacements), so I think it's
correct that it just went to the trunk.

The report did feel like bugs, so I'm okay with installing the 2-line
solution on emacs-25.
