How to cut short the URL of a controller action page in magento2

For instance:

If custom modules controller page is in : Vendor/Module/Controller/Index/Index.php

in routes.xml: I had defined frontname as : i

Instead of navigating to : localhost/magento/i/index/index

How to optimize the URl to only localhost/magento/i

Basically , i need to achieve this (as in magento1) in Magento2.

<!-- url rewrite -->
<rewrite>
<mypage>
    <from><![CDATA[#^/([\w-]+)/m/?#]]></from>
    <to><![CDATA[/m/index/index/product/$1]]></to>
    <complete>1</complete>
</mypage>
</rewrite>
<!-- end url rewrite -->
<frontend>
<routers>
<mypage>
  <use>standard</use>
    <args>
       <module>Vendor_Module</module>
       <frontName>m</frontName>
    </args>
  </mypage>
 </routers>

For the above rewrite : we can get the controller action just by:

localhost/magento/m

Need to achieve the same in Magento2 ?

UPDATE:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:App/etc/routes.xsd">
<router id="standard">
    <route id="m" frontName="m">
        <module name="Vendor_Module"/>
    </route>
</router>

Controller path: \Vendor\Module\Controller\Result\Index.php

layout file name: m_result_index

URL: localhost/magento/m

I get 404 no found.

Define frontName as i in routes.xml

Add file i_index_index.xml in yourmodule/frontend/layout

Now you can directly access localhost/magento/i
