The plain text qalc doesn't compare with Speedcrunch. How do you copy & paste for example? Speedcrunch also has a shortcut for putting the result into the clipboard.

You can make Speedcrunch look like a good old fashioned bc session, whereas Qalculate puts way too much stuff on the screen. It misses a simple REPL mode.



You can copypaste plain text to and from the terminal, what kind of copypaste do you mean?


The shortcuts aren't the same, especially for copy. For example instead of Control+C (which normally interrupts the program), you have to use Shift+Control+C.


I strongly prefer speedcrunch due to it opening much faster and being simpler.

Qalc has poor documentation so I don't find learning its extra features to be worthwhile.

Qalc is also awkward to type.
