Feature Request: Thousand Separator and Larger Number Font in KCalc for Better Readability

Brainstorm
1

I would like to suggest an enhancement to KCalc that improves usability and readability for all users, especially the elderly and those with visual impairments. Specifically:

  1. Automatic Thousand Separator:
    When entering large numbers, KCalc should automatically insert thousand separators (e.g., typing 1000000 becomes 1,000,000 or 1 000 000, depending on locale settings). This small addition can greatly enhance readability and reduce input errors.

  2. Larger Number Display:
    The current font size in the input textbox is relatively small and may pose difficulties for users with poor eyesight. Adding an option to increase the font size or dynamically adjusting it based on the window size would significantly improve accessibility.

These changes would make KCalc more user-friendly and inclusive. Thank you for considering this request.

In the settings, you can change the font size, but it does nothing for the display. Stop the app and restart it and the changes are gone. Something is wrong there.
