Shortcodes

Shortcodes require Kit-1.3.0-beta.6.dmg

Shortcodes are like writing acronyms to quickly get to specific choices of a script.

To run the following script and select "Banana" and "Cookie" type "a", space, "b", space, "c":

// Shortcode: a

let fruit = await arg("Type 'b' then spacebar", [
  {
    name: "Apple",
    value: "apple",
  },
  {
    name: "Banana",
    value: "banana",
    shortcode: "b",
  },
])

let treat = await arg("Type 'c' then spacebar", [
  {
    name: "Donut",
    value: "donut",
  },
  {
    name: "Cookie",
    value: "cookie",
    shortcode: "c",
  },
])

await arg(`${fruit}, ${treat}`)

Shortcodes also enable "English" shortcuts. From the main menu, type "go fish " or "go eat " to quickly drill down to one of these choices:

//Shortcode: go

let message = await arg("Where?", [
  {
    name: "Lunch",
    shortcode: "eat",
    value: "Gone out to lunch",
  },
  {
    name: "Fishing",
    shortcode: "fish",
    value: "Gone fishin'",
  },
])

await arg(message)
