Repeat Last Citation button

Post by stewartrb » 22 Jun 2012 16:13

I know there is an auto-citation function. (I wish there was some larger indication that it was 'on' and in effect. The little note in the bottom right is all I think we get.)

And I know I can copy a previous citation and then paste it again where I need it. (And keep pasting it.)

A one-button solution (not that pasting isn't one button, but you still have to copy once) would be nice.

Would a Repeat Last Citation Used button be possible?

I suspect this could be tricky as what is the last citation used? The last one clicked on, or the last one keyed or the last one on the previous fact. It's highly likely for the sake of one extra key press of the copy button, you would avoid the uncertainty of what the last used citation was.

I agree with Jane and even if this extra button were provided, I would never use it. It would be much safer always to explicitly copy the required citation.
