You shouldn't have to scroll back to the from field unless it is somehow becoming unselected. I'd be curious why it is unselected.

The very comprehensive list of units is a nice feature of Gonvert, but most of the time they just get in the way; it would be nice to have the option of seeing all the obscure units only when actively looking for them.
Things I'm doing for this:
  • Revamped search to be a Quick Jump window which shows all units available as the user types (Implemented)
  • A Recent window to show your history of selected units to convert (Implemented)
  • Favorites to filter out what units and categories you want to see and don't want to see with a toggle to switch between favorites and all (To be implemented)
