Short keys is a period-3 oscillator found by Dean Hickerson in August 1989.[1] In August 2004 Jason Summers found a 10-glider synthesis of this oscillator.[2] It can be extended infinitely, like the odd keys and bent keys.

As a sparker

Either by itself or attached to something else, short keys can be used as a sparker.

p18 lumps of muck hassler using four short keys. Caterer and jam also work; short keys has a larger population but smaller bounding box.

The original stabilisation of Jason's p33. Each sparker is two short keys that interact slightly, allowing the spark to have higher clearance. This version of the sparker can also support the carnival shuttle.
