  2. If you want to rename the converter, type a new name in the Converter Name field.

  3. Add, remove, or rearrange items in the converter:

    • To add new currencies, drag them from the Currencies list to the Converter list.

    • To remove currencies, select them in the Converter list and press Delete.

    • To add or remove separators, use the Add (+) and Remove (-) buttons.

    • To rearrange items, drag them in the Converter list.

  4. Click OK to close the dialog and edit the converter.

You can also make changes directly from the converter.

To make changes directly from the converter:

  • To remove a currency, select the display and choose Converter > Remove Currency. Alternatively, you can drag the display to the Trash.

    You can also make the active display quickly switch to the next or previous currency in the Switch Currency menu by pressing Option-Tab or Shift-Option-Tab, respectively.
