[Jabref-users] Keyboard Shortcuts

[Rich S. <rsh...@ap...>]

   I've looked at the available configuration options for jabref-2.9.2 (no
difference in 2.10.0) and do not find a way to specify keyboard shortcuts.
I'm not a java coder, but am confident that there is a library that can
easily be added to allow these.

   Most of my writing is done in emacs so I use those short cuts (such as
ctrl-d to delete the following character) in every application that allows
me to define such shortcuts. It would be really helpful to have this
capability added to JabRef.

   By trial-and-error I leared that I can use the CUA chords of ctrl-x,
ctrl-c, and ctrl-v to cut, copy, and paste text. Why not allow us to use
ctrl-a and ctrl-e to move the cursor to the head and tail of a line, as well
as ctrl-d to delete the following character?
