Hello, There is a quick method of inserting an entity reference at the cursor position: double click on the name of the entity in the Entities view. This view is available in both the Text mode and the Author mode. In the default layout of the Oxygen window the view is visible in both modes on the right side in a tabbed pane with the Elements view. If it is not visible in your layout (you use a fixed layout or other customized layout) just go to menu Perspective -> Show View -> Entities.
