The workflow that I created has a different structure to a Launchbar action. The basic code languages used are Applescript and Bash, which Launchbar could also use. Someone would have to re-write the code for Launchbar (which I don't use sorry).Does anyone know whether it could be made into a Launchbar action?

echo "[#$BIBKEY]: $REFNAME"I found a very simple solution for my problem: In the ".cite"-script the setting of "Run Behavior" has to be set to "Automatic delay after last character typed", then the references found pop up shortly after stopping typing.NilsMS wrote:Generally, it works as advertised. Unfortunately, it takes very long to load all the references of my research library (+13500), which at first made me think it does not work at all. Very reluctantly, I have to admit that in the present form it is not usable for me.
