I just heard of ebib now on the Ling-TeX list, and quite like it.
But the usual way I use bib-files these days is with Googlescholar, which
gives you a bibtex format entry.
At the moment, this can be directly pasted into the bib-file but in order
to have a nice edit possibility in the very same file within ebib, the  
ebib bib buffer should be saved
before pasting to the bib-file which should then be saved and then reread  
to ebib.
This hassle makes this bibtex-ebib interaction virtually unworkable.

I think it would be nice if such a bibtex-entry could be pasted directly  
into an ebib.

The particular way I imagine this would be similar to pressing 'a' in the  
index buffer,
in particular I recommand 'i' for import. Pressing 'i' would give a blank  
buffer below,
into which one or more bibtex entries could be pasted.
Once the entry is pasted, a keypress (say c for compile) in this  
raw-bibtex buffer
would parse the entry and reopen (the last one) in the same way as a  
(partially specified) newly added entry
in ebib.
This would then make it possible to flexibly correct particular  
bibtex-format entries (ones given by
googlescholar are sometimes faulty or partial) in the nice ebib way.

Best of luck to developers
Thank you

Viktor Tron
