Most notably:

• /help then Ctrl+Enter
• Use -> for unit conversion (1km->m = 1000 m)
• Fault-tolerant parsing of strings (almost natural language)
• Ability to disable functions, variables, units or unknown variables for less confusion: e.g. when you do not want (a+b)^2 to mean (are+barn)^2 but (“a”+”b”)^2
• Verbose error messages, Arbitrary precision
• Symbolic calculation
• Functions, Units, Variables, Constants (persistent between restarts)
• Gnuplot (opens a new window with plot, you have to install GNUplot separately for it to work)
• Comments start with #

You can get a 30KB noinstall version if you install or link Qalculate to ./minecraft/config/chatqalc/ manually or run the full version once.
