This workflow supports 3 types of currency conversion.

 

How-to:

Case 1: cur [base_currency]

It would display the value of the tracked currencies relative to USD 1.

New currency can be added into the list by running currency add [currency], but currency not being tracked can also be displayed by typing the full currency name.

 

Case 2: cur [base_currency] [base_currency_amount]

[base_currency_amount] can be expressed using k (thousand), m (million), b (billion)

For example, 900,000 can be expressed in 0.9m

 

Case 3: cur [base_currency] [base_currency_amount] [quote_currency]

 

In all cases, clicking Enter would copy the currency value to clipboard.

 

If you enjoy the workflow, please consider leaving a star at the github repository. And if you have any ideas about how to improve this workflow, please also feel free to let me know!

I've been using Alfred workflows for some time, but there is something about this one that has me baffled.  I have it installed, and I see the configuration instructions - looks simple.  I interpret this to mean I have to first add (up to 3) currencies to be able to use the use the app.  Here's what's happening:  When I type "cur" there are the expected menu options (as shown with Config button, Github README file and Alfred download site), I select "currency add", then as soon as I add "usd" (or even any single letter) it takes me out of workflow and into web search mode (i.e. if I hit enter and it goes to currency conversion web page).  Please advise!

@alnetloc i think you would be better served by using this workflow from the official alfred gallery: https://alfred.app/workflows/alfredapp/currency-converter/
