... easy to type is not a requirement for a key sequence to invoke
calc.
That depends on how frequently you invoke Calc.
Certainly, I invoke `C-x o' (other-window) more often than Calc. But
I invoke Calc more often than `M-DEL' (backward-kill-word). Both are
default keybindings in the current distribution.
Besides calculations, such as division or least squares, Calc is
really good for conversions. Nowadays, I use that feature frequently.
Of course, your meterage may vary -- in the United States, we say
`your _milage_ may vary', and we speak of `barrels' of oil ...
As for using `C-x,' for `calc-dispatch': it is unmnemonic. That is
true.
But `C-x,,' does well to turn Calc on or off using the same Calc
interface as before. Also `C-x,g' does well for calc-grab-region,
`C-x,y' for calc-copy-to-buffer, and so on.
And I just tried `C-x,' in a tty as well as in X (with `-Q -D',
yesterday's CVS snapshot), and in a xterm (`-Q -D -nw'). The
keybinding is undefined in all. You can invoke it on an American
keyboard; I do not know about others.
