Adding an option to replace Windows Calculator

Issue #988 new
Mohammad Elsheimy created an issue

My request in a nutshell:

We need an option in SpeedCrunch to set it as the default calculator. By “default” I mean that I need it to popup when I type “calc” in the Run or press the keyboard calculator button.

Boring long details:

When I first installed SpeedCrunch it automatically replaced Windows Calculator, I don’t know why and how, but it did! After a few days Windows has reverted the configuration and Windows Calculator returned as the default calculator!

I tried several ways to return SpeedCrunch as the default calculator:

  1. Reinstalling the app did not help.
  2. Default Apps screen: no option for this
  3. Default Apps by Protocol:
    url:calculator : although SpeedCrunch is set there it does not launch automatically
    url:ms-calculator: only Windows Calculator available as an option
  4. (WORKS): Modifying the registry (see: https://superuser.com/questions/1393830/i-want-to-replace-the-default-windows-10-calculator-with-calctape-exe-in-the-reg )
