Would be nice to handle mixed numbers. Also to convert improper fraction into mixed number and mixed number into improper fractions.

Makes sense. Did you accidentally close this issue?

hm there is one problem though: it means that the parser should interpret 3 4/5 as 3+4/5, an addition. That is at odds with implicit multiplication like 2 (3 + 4) and 2 x.

May be inclusion of a new operator (&) can solve this issue. Please check the calculator at this link https://mathpapa.com/algebra-calculator.html
Here, you can enter 3&4/5 and it shows it correctly as a mixed fraction, and also treats it correctly as one.
