From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Make Calculator in KRunner respect system settings for numbers? (lemmy.ml)

I frequently use KRunner to do simple sums when doing my accounting. I keep a ledger with numbers formatted as e.g. 1,000.00. My system settings in KDE for number formatting under Region & Language is set to British English, i.e. the way I want it. However, whenever I copy a sum from KRunner, e.g. "1000.25 + 1000.25", it is copied as "2000,5" (i.e. no thousands-delimiter, wrong decimal point and only one decimal number). It gets a bit annoying to change this manually.

I can't seen to find any specific settings for this in KRunner or the Calculator plugin, and I would expect it to respect KDE's own settings.

Does anyone know how to force KRunner to do my bidding here?
