I hope we will be able to enjoy this option soon :)

json format proposition:

"word": { "input": ["b", "u", "t", "o", "n", "s"], "output": "chording output" }

Examples:

    "CharaChorder": { "input": ["c", "h", "lshift", "rshift"], "output": "CharaChorder"   },
    "because":      { "input": ["b", "c"],                     "output": "because"        },
    "być":          { "input": ["b", "y", "c"],                "output": "by[ALT]c[ALT]"  },

To elaborate on the value a bit more:

Easier to use without the need to do it one by one, using manager.

The point is that easy access and editability of ones cord is key. Especially for power users or technically proficient ones, the browser UI is limitting, as it dictates how we are supposed to interact with the charachorder. Searching for existing chords is already a pain.

Easier to do it on mass scale = faster editing, easier to check, eveyone will be able to do it without manager (part as copy-paste)

Being able to edit / work on your chords without the browser (online) is already a huge plus, as there is little reason to be forced online.
Faster editing for sure, as we can edit our chord file directly, without jumping through the hoops of the UI. This obviously translates easily into getting a good overview of your chords, as you can sort them the way you want and share that overview with others.

Easier to use = more popular (just because it's easier the use)

How would you currenly share chords or let though others see what you have created? If you give them your backup, they gotta install it on their device, because they can't see anything or much of that chords otherwise, no? That is not a good solution.
Libraries are a good point, as they would allow to easily share only selected parts of the complete chord setup.
