This means that users have to manually input the previous result as the operand
for each new calculation, unless they can directly write out the entire
equation in one go, which is rare. Using the previous result as the first
operand for the next calculation is the behavior of the vast majority of
calculators and was also the previous behavior of KCalc. Everyone is accustomed
to this practice. Especially when I use the calculator for long binary
calculations or numbers expressed in scientific notation, having to re-enter
the result each time is unacceptable.
