@techee On unix-like desktop or mac, one use case is: Defining `alias xxx="geany some_file"`, for some very common file, and whenever I want to open it, I would simply type `xxx` in console, to open it, instead of find that folder, and double click it.
I do this a lot on linux, with both geany & vim as the editor, that's why I ask for similar behavior on mac in the first place.
