Hi, the last major change in RefTeX (which hasn't been released yet) was concerned with the possibility to select the macro for references. So once you type `C-c )', select a label type and are presented with the label selection screen you can also switch between different reference macros. Typing <s> to toggle between macros for numbered references (like \ref) and page references (like \pageref). In each class there can be multiple macros which can be cycled by typing <v> (forward) or <V> (backward).
I thought a bit about this approach and think that the user interface might be too convoluted. First, the user is confronted with two selection processes at once: the label and the reference macro. Second, the user has to keep in mind that there are two rings with macros. Third, macros cannot be selected directly. Fourth, the interface is not consistent with the way citation macros are selected. So perhaps a good idea to get rid of these problems would be to present the reference macro selection in the same way as the citation macro selection, i.e. providing the user with a list of possibilities where each entry can be selected with a single key press. A disadvantage of this approach is that there will be an additional step in the reference insertion process. I'd be interested in hearing what kind of interface others prefer. -- Ralf _______________________________________________ auctex-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/auctex-devel
