Hi Joost,

Since you asked ...

It would be great to have an automatically generated key.  I work in an
environment where several of us contribute to a master bibliography
file.  We've come to rely on the keys that AucTeX (I believe) supplies.
We use them to weed out duplicate entries.

This isn't a big deal and I recognize that it goes against the ebib work
flow, which asks for the key before the citation information.

Thanks again for ebib.

Tom
