Couldn’t you just create new chords that represent the most commonly typed code components?

Yes, but people who use an IDE will already have support for “code snippets” and completions, so you need to look for a different advantage to create.

		Good point - I bet completions are much quicker in practice than a chord for commonly used snippets. At least the number of chords a normal human can remember!
