Hi Eike,
Have you tried the patch that I have attached (in issue 20496)?
It would (really) be easier if we can comment on the changes required on
the patch (I think).
1. "+func(" should also cause a formula input (exception for +<number>).
2. And w.r.t to the ++ -> =++ its for the similarity with excel (and also +
-> =+).
Regards,
Muthu Subramanian

We'll see.

Of course, data import should not be affected by this.

Any other input than numbers should not be affected. People usually
request the "start formula input with '+'" feature because they want to
key in short equations on the number keypad without having to move over
to the regular keyboard.

To make it easier for others to follow, it would be good to state why
you prefer it this way. Currently I don't see a reason to keep the
mathematical unnecessary extra +
