+#### Options in shortcut expression
+
+When you use regular expression in command line, options dictionary can be
+written concisely using shortcut expression.
+
+For example, the command we saw in the previous section,
+
+- `:EasyAlign*/[:;]\+/{'s':1,'l':0}`
+
+can also be written as
+
+- `:EasyAlign*/[:;]\+/s1l0`
+
+Supported shortcut expressions are listed below.
+
+| Expression | Option           |
+| ---------- | ---------------- |
+| `l[0-9]`   | left_margin      |
