Current directory (spaced period)

Use the stroke -P to type a space, period, and space: . For example, git add . is stroked TKPWEUT/AD/-P

Switches (- and --)

To type a single hyphen switch, use H*PB => H*N (the brief for a hyphen with added star/asterisk), which will let you auto-insert a space as usual, type the hyphen, then suppress the next space. For example, git commit -v is stroked TKPWEUT/KPHEUT/H*PB/SR*

To type a double dash switch, use TK*RB => D*SH (the brief for a double dash or en dash with added star/asterisk), which will let you auto-insert a space as usual, type the double dashes, then suppress the next space. For example, git diff --cached is stroked TKPWEUT/TKEUF/TK*RB/KAERBD
