I suppose there's no reason why not, I just didn't think about it that
way.

The trailing space was something I added on purpose because I figured
everyone would want a space after the answer to continue writing, but I
can see how it might be considered unexpected behaviour. Bearing that in
mind I'll probably change it. Once again, proof that not everyone in the
world thinks exactly like me. ;-)

Brackets aren't needed for manual calculations, so there's no check for
them. If I allow ctrl+e as an option at the same time as automatic this
will be adressed.

On my long term list of things to do (aka. stuff to do in the summer
holidays) is a revisit of this add-in where I plan to explore this
wonderful new technology I've learned about since making the add-in (my
first C# project) called regular expressions (late to the party, I know)
to see if I can make the brackets obsolete. I'll make a note (a tomboy
note, of course) of your observations and put them in when I get around
to revisiting the add-in.
