calc and comma

calc and comma

[Hadron]

Is there a way to configure calc to accept "," as a unit seperator
german style?

e.g

10,23

is 10 euro and 23 cents.

My OS is in English.

It won't accept the comma as a unit separator, but it will display the
comma as a unit separator.  
`d .' (calc-point-char) will prompt you for a new unit separator,
so `d . ,' will make a comma the new unit separator.
Then `m m' (calc-save-modes) will save the new value in your Calc init
file, so next time you use Calc the separator will still be a comma.

So typing `10.23' will display `10,23'.

Thanks, but this is driving me nuts since my german keyboard has a ","
(comma) on the numeric keyboard. Any other ideas?

In

calculator.el

is written:

(defvar calculator-mode-map nil
  "The calculator key map.")

(or calculator-mode-map
  (let ((map (make-sparse-keymap)))

...

(calculator-decimal     "." [kp-decimal])

From there I guess it might be sufficient to change the
sign here, load again, ready.

As I don't use `calc' until now, just that idea.
