As a matter of fact I believe that the documentation currently says:

key: snippet abbrev

This is the probably the most important directive, it's the abbreviation you type to expand a snippet just before hitting the key that runs yas-expand. If you don't specify this, the snippet will not be expandable through the trigger mechanism.

But actually if there is no key specified yasnippet uses the filename and there is no way to disable this....
