In-text citation Quick Reference

[mchapman]

I often find myself forgetting which symbol does what in in-text citations.

I was going to make my own quick reference guide. However, before I do that I wonder if there is an official quick reference guide or if somebody has made one they would be willing to share.

Much thanks,

Mark

Did you know there's a menu option Edit -> Copy Citation And Modifiers? It lets you construct the temporary citation you want via a dialog (and the popup menu reminds you of what symbols do what, although you don't actually type them in yourself).

Brilliant!

No, I didn’t know about it.

Very pleasant to discover that what I needed was already there in a better format than I was looking for. Much thanks, Mark

Hi,

This is indeed very useful. However the shortcut ^cmdY doesn't work for me. I'm using a French keyboard and I assume that the key ^makes the trouble. Anyone any idea?
Thanks,

I doubt the keyboard matters.-- the Control key is the same on them all AFAIK. What do you mean "doesn't work"? You don't get the dialog asking what modifiers you want to use?

OK, I see. To stupid. On a French keyboard you have a "^" which is used e.g. for "hôtel" and has nothing to do with the control key "ctrl". Everything works now.

Thanks,
