On your CharaChorder map, you’ll notice that both pinkies have outer indicators, showing their special functions when combined with a chord.
To activate these modifiers, chord the key with another chord.
Chording a pinky control with a single character will result in its single-character result (Alt, NumShift, Mirror, or Shift).
| Modifier Key | Typical Result |
|---|---|
| Chord alt 1 | |
| Capitalize | chord is capitalized |
| Present tense | +ing |
| Past tense | +ed |
| Chord alt 2 | |
| Compartive | +er |
| Plural | +s |
These keys modify any chord, sometimes to the point of hilarity. Take the word “and” and start pressing with your pinkies and you’ll get words like: anding, anded, ands, ander
Currently these modifier keys are English only.
CharaChorder knows the past tense of run is ran. But it may not know all the tenses of all the words (yet).
At this time, you cannot create custom results using these chord modifier keys. So, for example, if a word has an odd variation in one of its tenses (”hasing” instead of “have”) your best option is to report a bug as you cannot overrule this with your own chord using the same key.
