Hi John
Thank you very much again. Elegant solution, and it works.
I just wonder why I seem to be the only one on the list who had that
problem. Am I so out of fashion to use org-ref and ivy/helm-bibtex
together? I have been doing that for surely 10 years but had to stick
with an old version of org-ref until recently (because of a completely
different problem that I will post in another thread).
Have a nice day,
Sven
