@NaroZeol

Description

Description of the new feature / enhancement

The Unit Converter is a useful plugin, however, it lacks a help message when the keyword is activated.

Thanks to issue #33490, the Value Generator now offers excellent usage suggestions. I hope to see similar improvements like those made to the Value Generator.

I think it would be beneficial to list the usage of all supported transformations.

A possible form of the list:

  • usage: {keyword} <value> <from> in <to>

  • cm, m, km, ft...
    Length

  • second, month, day, year...
    Duration

  • .....

Scenario when this would be used?

This will be useful for quickly understanding all the features of this plugin without having to search for the documentation page.
