To make currency conversions more convenient, you can use aliasing to assign custom names to currencies. For example, you can alias "dollar" to "usd".
To set up aliasing, follow these steps:
alias.json
in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\PowerToys\PowerToys Run\Settings\Plugins\Community.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.CurrencyConverter
.alias.json
file in a text editor."alias": "currency_code"
. For example, to alias "dollar" to "usd", add the following entry: "dollar": "usd"
.alias.json
file.Please note that when creating aliases, ensure that the alias key does not contain any numbers or spaces.
Once you have set up the aliases, you can use them in your currency conversions. For example, instead of typing $$ 100 usd to eur
, you can simply type $$ 100 dollar to euro
.
If you are getting an error saying the alias file is not found, try closing PowerToys and opening it again. If the issue persists, you may need to download a newer version of the Currency Converter plugin and reinstall it.
This plugin also converters real currencies to crypto currencies and vice versa. Refer here for the full list of available conversions.

(addition), -
(subtraction), *
(multiplication), and /
(division). The use of brackets is also supported.
