cb2Bib: Embedded File Editor

The cb2Bib contains a practical editor suitable to manipulate the files related to a cb2Bib session. Abbreviations, bookmarks, regular expressions, and BibTeX are readily available. On BibTeX mode, the editor contains a Reference List to easy file navigation and to extend the editor functionality. The BibTeX editor can optionally be turned to a reference browser.

Bookmarks

Bookmarks pointing to local or network files are available at the editor menu bar. They provide a fast access to external resources. Concretely, they are suitable for retrieving working documents, writing notes, or for accessing internet databases.

The editor bookmark functionality had been introduced in the cb2Bib version 0.9.3. Currently, bookmarks are set manually in the netqinf.txt file, see Configuring Files. Each bookmark is an entry line with the form

editorbookmark=Description|Target file name|Shortcut|Icon file name

having four fields, description, target file name, shortcut, and icon file name, separated with three (required) vertical bars |.

# Bookmark Examples:
# - A Url:
editorbookmark=Url Description|http://www.molspaces.com/d_cb2bib-d_cb2bib-c2beditor.php#bookmarks||
# - A separator, which is a blank line:
editorbookmark=
# - A TeX document, which will be opened with its default application:
editorbookmark=Document Description|/home/doc/chapter1.tex||
# - An application, specifying a shortcut and an icon:
editorbookmark=Application Description|/opt/kde3/bin/kile|Alt+K|/usr/share/icons/kile.png
