Code:

EXPORT F2M(z)
BEGIN
  ROUND((re(z)*12+im(z))*0.0254, 2);
END;

> F2M(6+2i)       → 1.88
> F2M(10)          → 3.05

That allows what I am asking for, but it makes it quite a bit less convenient to enter feet and inches, it now requires 6 + 2 (shift) 2 (5 keys). Before it just required typing 6 , 2 (just 3 keys).

I am grateful for your input, but this is about increasing convenience, and reducing the total amount of keys required to press, because of how often the function is used, therefore, it isn't really a viable solution.
