I want to make gnome-calculator works with an input number that has commas inside as thousands separator, currently, gnome-calculator auto subtracts all the numbers following the first comma.
My LC_NUMERIC config here:
decimal_point="."
thousands_sep=""
grouping=-1
numeric-decimal-point-wc=46
numeric-thousands-sep-wc=0
numeric-codeset="UTF-8"1 Answer
GNOME-Calculator reads the , and . as a decimal. It is something that is hard coded into the app itself. If you would like that as a feature you will have to file a feature request by ubuntu-bug gnome-calculator.
However, the comma can be automatically inserted for you. Do not press the comma , as the calculator will assume it is a decimal.
Click on the Gear and select Preferences.
Then turn on the Thousands Separators.
Then when you are typing in the numbers like 10000 the comma will be added automatically.
