Hi. It would be awesome if you could implement a natural type output for written expression.
I could see directly if there are mistakes in the expression I have written (especially parentheses/brackets).

This is not a duplicate to #463 because this issue only applies to the printed line.

Another simpler and more space saving option is to display the parsed expression in the result field while typing.
The space for the parsed expression will need to be as high as the space for the result.

Done.

Calculate-as-you-type result is displayed in the status field. When Enter, or =, is pressed, the result is displayed in the usual place, and the parsed expression is moved to the status field (these can be switched using the result popup menu).

Awesome, thanks. Installed from the source code on Ubuntu mate 23.10.
Should this be enabled by default in future releases?

Quite possibly, but not in the next version (which I plan to release within 2 to 3 weeks).
