So I’m using Vikunja to organize my uni work and it’s been going great! I was wondering, is there a way to add shortcuts for lists when describing them with the `+name` syntax in Quick Add Magic? Currently I just name my lists “PCS” for example (instead of Parallel Computer Systems), but I’d prefer it if I could use the full class name instead and configure some short name that can then be used with the Quick Add Magic. Is this something that can be done?

I think it should be possible to use the list prefix.
