WP-32S in 2016?

We may further allow for D.MS<->DEG and DEG<->RAD in both directions for sake of tradition, and maybe RAD<->MOπ and DEG<->MOπ, but that would do IMHO.

How about this one:

Edit: I just noticed that matthiaspaul made a similar suggestion. But since both ideas are not exactly the same I think I'll post this anyway.

Code:

 [g] [DRG]           DEG
     [DRG]           RAD
[->]                 RAD->DEG
     [DRG]           RAD->GRAD
     [ENTER]

This way any combination of "from-mode" and "to-mode" can be chosen easily without digging through endless menus.

Even the conversion from the current mode into another is possible. Assuming the current mode is radians:

Code:

[->] [DRG]           RAD->DEG
     [DRG]           RAD->GRAD
     [ENTER]

So pressing the initial [→] simply sets the "from mode" (left of arrow) to the current one. This way the user unambigously sees what conversion will be executed.

I'm sure there also is a convenient way to do this the other way round when an angle is converted to the current mode, like in [DEG→]. For instance pressing [x↔y] may swap both sides.

For use in programs the dedicated [→DEG], [RAD→] etc. commands can be left in menus.
