I agree with this, but even more: is there any reason why it shouldn't work without any calculator: or calc: (like it worked before 13.10)?

I guess there are reasons why a prefix is needed, but my favorite one besides calc: (calculator: is just out of question) is "=", like in a spreadsheet (if such a thing is possible with scopes).

Actually, I was happy to find this scope, but now I see that it is not better than launching the calculator applet by hand.

calc: is now working here in 14.04 though I'm using compiz 0.9.12+
So in that regard this bug is semi-fixed
