------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue May 15 00:49:24 +0000 2007 ------- Hi there I think that there might be some possible improvements to the way that bibliographic entries work in terms of keyboard usability. Firstly, it's funny that the 'insert' thing for citations is Alt-I-X-B. To me it is unintuitive that citations are listed under 'indexes and tables'. In my mind, the act of inserting a citation is more related to inserting a cross-reference, and should be in the top-level menu. Secondly, when the bibliographic entry dialog comes up, there is no keyboard focus in that dialog. For ease of use, the 'short name' dropdown should have the focus, such that I can just type the first few characters of the reference name then press enter. It seems wrong that the 'short name' drop-down is position *below* the author and title in this dialog, when in fact the author and title change only as a result of changing the selected short name. They should be underneath. I think that by default, the enter key should insert a reference *and* close the dialog. Mostly one wishes to insert a single citation, so although this dialog has the ability to insert multiple entries at once, this should not be the default behaviour. Perhaps the buttons could say 'Insert', 'Insert + Close', 'Cancel', with the second one bound to the 'enter' key.
