Overview
The Shorthand Chord function takes letters as input and turns them into chords.
Note
Not to be confused with the Letters function.
This function is functionally identical to using .
followed by a character.
This function is quite handy if you need to write shorter Unilang code.

Example 1

Places the shorthand chords corresponding to the letters a
, b
, c
, d
, being [12]
, [13]
, [14]
, [15]
.

Using Period . Characters
You can write .
followed by one of the chord letters above to achieve the same as SHORTHAND_CHORD()
with one letter input.
Example 2
.a.e.h.j
Places the shorthand chords corresponding to the letters a
, e
, h
, j
, being [12]
, [23]
, [34]
, [45]
.

Tip
Any chord is shorter to write using .
notation. However, using it does come at the cost of readability.
Tip
If you have more than 4 short hand chords, SC(input)
notation becomes shorter than using .
notation.
