[FEATURE REQUEST] Currency Converter in launcher

[psadi]

Feature Request - An in built currency converter in launcher would add more usable functionality. We can still use the launcher to google the results. Just a thought that it would be awesome to have this inbuilt.

Please consider the possibility.

Cheers!

With the new launcher using Qalculate! (qalc) for the calculator plugin, currency conversions can be performed like this:

= 1 dollar to euros

or

=$1 to €

To get this working, I did have to enter qalc once in a terminal and attempt a conversion in order to make the exchange rates update. If that setup could be improved, it would now happen in https://github.com/pop-os/launcher instead of in this repository.

=1 USD to EUR also works.
