#797 Automatic key generation: sequential numbers?

[Jeff Kerrison]

Hi all,

Great work on JabRef!

I have a nice-to-have feature request. For those who sequentially number their BibTex entries, Could you add a simple option to the BibTex Key Generator to use sequential numbers in the automatic key generation? For example, if this box is checked, JabRef would search the citekeys for the largest number (I guess ignoring fields that contain text), and then generate a key that is one number higher than the highest current key.

This is somewhat similar to #244, but applies to cite-keys that are purely numbers.

Cheers,
Jeff
