When typing unit names, spaces are ignored, so they may be skipped. It is also
usually ignored if a plural form of the unit name is typed. For squared and
cubed units (positive exponents of 2 or 3) the "^" symbol does not need to be
typed.

When a partially typed unit is highlighted in the list (blue lettering),
hitting enter will complete the name. The up and down arrow keys can be used to
highlight nearby units in the list prior to hitting enter. The unit closet to
the cursor will be replaced.

The recent unit button in the header (clock image) opens a menu of recently
used units and unit combinations. The entire current unit combination is
replaced with selections from this menu.

The tab key can be used to cycle between the "From" and "To" unit test boxes
and the "From" and "To" number editors.

The number to be converted may be entered in either the "From" or "To" unit
side. Standard or scientific notation may be used, or an expression including
the normal math operators (+, -, *, /) and parenthesis may be entered.
