I can not think of a better shortcut for numerical_approx() than either N() or n() and between these two, I have found that I type n() quicker than N(). Also, since numerical_approx() begins with a lower case letter, I like the idea that its shortcut also begins with a lower case letter. Therefore, I would vote for using n() as the shortcut. As for usability, I have found that both of these shortcut methods are much quicker to type and erase than numerical_approx() and their usability is very similar to mathematica's //N shortcut.
