Hi Joost,

What a pleasure!  

It is very nice to have 'K' still there for the times I make a mistake
with author, title, or year.  Now, I just edit away the mistake, bounce
back to the index buffer, and hit 'K' for an up-to-date key.  I'm not
sure how I'd do that with other software I've been using.

All the best,
Tom
