If you trapped the key down event, couldn't you automatically move the cursor to the end for the arithmetic keys? Would save me a bit of overwriting :-)
Kinda. Wouldn't be able to for negative, since you want to be able to do the dash first sometimes.
I could make it work for other keys, but that would be inconsistent and cause even more confusion.
I keep overwriting the value as well when trying to subtract quickly. I subtract way more often than I enter negative values.
For me the natural reaction would be to jump the cursor to the end if the cell has a value already when pressing any of the "math" keys. If I want to enter a new negative value, I wouldn't mind clearing the cell first manually since it doesn't happen nearly as often.
And only jump the cursor if the entire value is highlighted.
can the inline calculator function be put in the account transaction screen? For instance when adjusting values for split transactions?

+1
I use math for splits quite often.

That's a much less controversial task and something I'll do soon 👍
The toolkit team "fixed" the inline calculator in nYNAB, so that's probably the best place to point for an example of what I'd like to see. Interestingly enough, today I see they added a popup calculator to the latest version on the accounts screen.
