Title:
  No keyboard shortcuts to change Mode?

Status in “gcalctool” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I realize this isn't an Ubuntu issue. Please let me know if it is not
  appropriate to file upstream bugs here.

  Basically: using the keyboard, the fastest way to switch between
  Advanced, Programming and Financial modes seems to be Alt+M followed
  A, F or P.

  It would be nice to be able to do it in one step rather than two. For
  instance, Alt+B, Alt+A, Alt+F and Alt+P don't appear to be used for
  anything and so one idea could be to bind those to the four modes. The
  similar calculator utility shipped with Windows lets you use function
  keys to switch. Personally I think the Alt-key approach is more
  Ubuntu-like but I'm not sure.
