Really? That's a bit unfortunate since it would be a killer feature.
The only thing that slows me down with QS is having to pause and
remember the name of an application to launch it - being able to
assign a mnemonic based on function rather than name would make the
process much smoother and would be in keeping with the QS motto.

Of course I could assign a trigger to launch such apps but this
feature is precisely for those apps (or files) that you don't use
often enough to justify a trigger - and if you use an app that
frequently you probably already know it's name by heart.

It doesn't sound like it would be a difficult feature to add either -
even if for some reason QS only works by indexing file names, Assign
Abbreviation could create file aliases for assigned abbreviations and
index those. Piece of cake, right?
