Describe the feature request below

Lines 132 to 137 in 066f762

	SwipeDirection.BOTTOM_RIGHT to
	KeyC(
	display = KeyDisplay.TextDisplay("€"),
	action = KeyAction.CommitText("€"),
	color = ColorVariant.MUTED,
	),

Here's something that came to my mind (didn't try out).

val currency = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(Locale.getDefault()).currency?.symbol ?: "€"

// ...

 SwipeDirection.BOTTOM_RIGHT to 
     KeyC( 
         display = KeyDisplay.TextDisplay(currency),
         action = KeyAction.CommitText(currency),
         color = ColorVariant.MUTED,
     ),

i think $, € and £ should stay, as they're pretty common. there could be a wildcard local currency swipe in the numpad elsewhere though

[dessalines]

Agree, a new spot for the wildcard currency would be good. @priyavrat-misra feel free to submit a PR.

[priyavrat-misra]

Sorry but what's a "wildcard"? Is it some feature?

[KraXen72]

wildcard would just means that it's like dynamic. for example a URL wildcard could be *.google.com - which means (anything).google.com. In this case, i used 'wildcard' because it could be any currency. but yeah it would just be a swipe which is always the user's current currency. also, possibly only show it if the user's current currency is different than $/€/£ ? no need to have 2 ways to type the same thing imo.

[priyavrat-misra]

Got it. Will checkout the code locally and raise a PR.

Bottom-right to 1 seems like a good spot. Let me know your thoughts before I begin.
