(I've been keeping all my data in a central bibtex > file and using reftex to generate links to citations.) I've been testing the patch and have a few comments. 1. The prompt for the completing-read on line 440 is missing a space. It shows "Type:" rather than "Type: ". 2. In addition, since the symbols in org-bibtex-types are keywords, the completions are in the form ":article", ":book", etc. Might I ask why everything is org-bibtex-type is a keyword? Could we use strings or plain symbols instead? (Note: I haven't read the code carefully enough to see if there is a reason.) 3. The tooltip/help pop-up for org-bibtex-create takes up half a frame. Thanks, Matt
