system default, dot, comma, both

Issue #184 closed
Former user created an issue

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 184

Enhancement:

SpeedCrunch could have 'both' radix character selector where it would
respond to comma and dot equally - as a fraction seperator.
I frequently operate on numbers with '.' (english/internation) and ','
(Slovene), and I hate having to switch it constantly or even searching
throung a long string and replacing the characters manually. So if
SpeedCrunch allowed both to be treated the same, I would have no such
worries anymore.

I really see no reason, why it shouldn't, since we're not used to hand
delimiting 1000's with the other character, neither is such expression
accepted by speedcrunch. The functions AFAIK take ';' as a separator, so we
have no problem there... 

Then it is 'both'. No? :)

    ``` We want to use thousands separator for 0.11. It has been discussed on issue 58. So we are in the situation where we can't assign different tasks for the same symbol. Unless we use the ´ or ` character like Wolf suggested, which is a good idea to me, but people would never do it without reading a manual. ```

    ``` ' or ´ or ` for thousands separator! people never enter thousands-separated numbers, anyway. don't release .11 with anything else...we don't want people get accustomed to something they might miss. :) ```

    ```

    people never enter thousands-separated numbers, anyway.

    They certainly will, as an aid to enter long digit sequences without missing one, or simply when copy&pasting values with separators from other sources. ```

    ``` An anonymous user wrote: "Please add under 'Radix character' option 'Both' (Comma and Point) for those who don't care and who don't have either of those as thousands separator (which might confuse in other cases)."

    ``` Thanks a lot people. I'll try next version and hope I can use ", (comma)" as digit separator like 1,000,000 instead of 1000000. ```
