[Qgis-user] Problems with grass plugin

[Agustin Lobo]

If I use the arrows to edit the command (which is most used in grass), I 
always get weird behavior, cannot edit as I do in an xterm. Sometimes 
the right arrow does not work after I've used the left arrow, the lines 
that I recover with the up arrow are broken, the terminal gets stuck
very often...

I use either r.mapcalculator for calculations with up to 6 input maps, or r.mapcalc in the GRASS shell (QGIS module), which I actually find quite straightforward (for example, r.mapcalc output="input1+0.25*(input2/input3)"). And there's the additional advantage that, when using the GRASS shell even within QGIS, you don't need to have the inputs on display in the map canvas.
