Hey Bruno,

Excellent idea about ripping off the history tape - love it.

I think we can explore the visual treatment of the number being currently edited. The only editable number is the last entry, it might be a different colour or something too.

For clearing, pressing C clears the current entry. To remove the entire calculation you swipe the tape to the side.

Sorry for the delay! Think we captured this on our blogpost too : http://design.canonical.com/2013/03/app-patterns-applied-calculator-key-journeys/

So you need a simple way to rip off a calculation sheet so that you can go to the next one while not making it a feature of the C key: what about just using that exact touch paradigm? Pull the last calculation sheet up to rip it off and put it on the stack?

If you were to add a backspace key on the right of the number being edited a la Jolla, that would resolve one of the problems above and act as a marker of what number you are currently editing.
