New computer running Sequoia. Missing my calculator widget.
Does anyone have a good work-around to get the calculator back in the control center or widget space? I know it's not a notification, but I'm used to it being there. Or in the widgets. Missing it, and going back to my "desktop" TI-55 is annoying.
MacBook Air 15″, macOS 15.7
Command-Space and enter as much of “calculator” as is needed and tap return to launch, configure a key chord to start Calculator, use Siri to launch the calculator, add Calculator app into the Dock, acquire PCalc (or the free PCalc Lite) and which has a menu bar feature (the “42” icon) (also superior to Apple calculator), among other options.

Widgets are no longer interactive, so there will not be any way to get a calculator widget back.
I just use Spotlight for simple calculations.
Have you considered simply adding the Calculator app to the Dock?
Use the Dock on Mac - Apple Support
My dock already is too long. Not using SIri. Spotlight: still too much typing.
Math Notes is cool, but not really instant.
What is a "key chord"? Like a keyboard shortcut? Possible, but I work on multiple Macs of different eras and find that I use the wrong shortcuts on the wrong computers. Migration very nicely moved my F13 "delete file" shortcut to my new Mac.
I did find the Shortcut Maker - a pretty version of the old Automator (which was a pretty version of Older Scripts). So, created a Menu Icon. So, 2 clicks away.
As to PCalc, I'm trying not to add more apps until I've cleaned out the old, non-working ones inherited on this migration. I still have Snow Leopard apps that migration moved forward. On the other hand, it has to be better than the native calculator.
And, I really miss the widget dashboard. Still. Forever.
Any way to access Calculator from Control Panel or Notifications?
