 For more information, see the [README](README.md).
 
+Many commands also have shorter names that can be typed faster. For example, if we wanted to use `//move ? 5`, we could instead type `//m ? 5`. All shortened names are listed below:
+
+| Short Name | Original Name      |
+|:-----------|:-------------------|
+| `//i`      | `//inspect`        |
+| `//rst`    | `//reset`          |

+| `//umk`    | `//unmark`         |
