Hi peterzay,
This is not possible to be done, because gcalctool supports storing results as 
variable (e.g. "a = 123+34") and then use them in another expressions (e.g. "b 
= 123+a").

And, if this request is implemented, it will be impossible to enter
something like "a = 123+34".

Even if we implement it by checking that if "=" is entered after
numbers, then evaluate. And if "=" is entered after characters, then
don't evaluate. This, then it brings more problems, as it won't work
when entering something like "123+ans =" or with hexadecimal digits
(e.g. "123abc + 1b =").
