Krunner calculatorDo you need to figure out how much money you have left for groceries after subscribing to three MMORPGs? Just press "Alt-F2" or right click on the desktop and press “run command”. To use Krunner as a calculator, type the = sign and then enter the equation. For example, type "=890*12", and it will output a calculator icon and the answer: "10680". Simply select the answer to calculate the next equation with it. KDE 3 had a similar calculating feature that automatically opened Google’s calculator. With this you can calculate multiple times without leaving the Krunner window."
