Add Fortran/Python exponentiation operator to calculator mode

[ajcarr]

At present, calculator mode uses the caret, "^", to indicate exponentiation. While this is fine for Excel-heads, it would be nice if you could implement the double-star operator, "**" as an alternative, as it's common in languages used for scientific programming like Fortran and Python.

Hi @ajcarr, welcome to the forum.

 

Alfred's calculator is based on GCMathParser and Andrew has said that he doesn't want to change it.

 

You might have more luck with a calculator workflow, though the only one I know also uses ^ for exponentiation because it's based on Lua.
