Hi,

let me start by saying that I know that the topic of input managers  
has been discussed on this list, still, I'm not happy with the current  
situation.

As you all know, with the introduction of Leopard, input managers have  
been disabled due to security concerns. For me – and I know I'm not  
alone here – this means a major loss of functionality. The ability to  
autocomplete cite keys in every Cocoa app was one of the greatest  
features of BibDesk IMO.

Most input managers can be enabled in Leopard. There are several tools  
for this, and IME this always works – with one exception: I can't get  
the BibDesk input manager to work again. Although the manager is  
enabled (with a tool called Input Managers) and I even re-enabled the  
respective prefpane in BibDesk by hacking info.plist, autocompletion  
doesn't work. So my question is: Has anyone been succesful in making  
this work?

I know that the developers never liked the input manager solution too  
much and that they prefer costum solutions for every app. In this  
spirit I filed a feature request for directo support for BibDesk in  
TeXShop, my favorite LaTeX editor. But I still think that BibDesk  
loses much of its strength without the input manager. So this is my  
plea: Please think again about re-enabling this functionality. At  
least don't disable it if the input manager is enabled under Leopard.
