Keyboard Control in Calculator When Pasting Formulas

SUMMARY
Calculator can paste numbers and formulas from the Clipboard; however, the
syntax of a formula is not necessarily the same syntax you would normally
use. For example, pasting "5*3=" generates the correct result "15," but
pasting "SIN(30)" does not generate the correct result "5."
MORE INFORMATION
This behavior occurs because of the way Calculator accepts data pasted from
the Clipboard. Calculator uses single keystrokes to activate its functions
or buttons and uses data from the Clipboard one character at a time, moving
left to right.
When Calculator uses a character from the pasted data, the data is used as
if you typed that character while in Calculator. In the "SIN(30)" example,
using pasted data would be the same as clicking SINE, INVERSE, NATURAL LOG,
and then finally typing "30." The correct formula in this case would be
"30s" (type 30 and then activate the SINE function.)
Below is a table listing all the buttons in Calculator with the keystrokes
that activate them.
