Also it would be nice to accept 20€ or 20 € same way as dollar sign, e.g. 20 $.

Hello,

Initially, the program took into account "in" as a keyword, but I opted to remove it because it was causing problems. The reason is that it can be interpreted as inches, so while you type if you write something like the following:

10 m in to kg: This can be interpreted as:

• 10 meters -> tons kilograms
• 10 meters inches -> kilograms

This might not be the best example but it is not easy to differentiate between in and to. I can try adding this back but I remember it was not a decision I liked but rather necessary to simplify things.

Because this project grew a bit and I don't have the time right now due to job requirements, I welcome anyone to do a PR with tests, etc if you want to contribute. In fact, I would be glad to have more people join this.

Thank you for your reply. I definitely see this might cause such issues. How about those euros?

I would love to contribute, however since I'm writing my first python scripts, you wouldn't be exactly pleased with results 😅 I hope I could write things like this in the future.

For the space in currency I have to check how to implement. I use pint for unit conversion and currency conversion. I have to check if pint can handle these.

However, this project is on hold for now. I am having a time shortage since I finished the main project and I don't know when I can continue the implementation.

Really good idea, like it!
