Yea i think that would be ok, its simple but if it works its all thats needed really i guess :P

I can see what you mean, a lot of people who are not familiar with Plus! or the Quick Texts might get confused. But it can also be confusing at the moment, when you look at the menu with the aliases and you forget what each one does. You could also have by default that if a user did not choose a name, the original alias could be shown, so that the end user does not need to use this if the he/she did not understand. And looking at the 'Status Presets' (for Away-Messages) it has the same thing basically with "Status Internal Identifier".. so it would be the same as that.. but with the quick texts :)

However, if you feel that it would be too complicated for users to understand and configure then that’s fine by me :)
I just think that this could be an option to help (Y)
