Hello Gerd,
I think, your ideas are very good, and since I use/would like to use F9
much more often, I welcome improvement!
Just to make sure to understand from the users view: instead of typing
"\eqref{eq<F9>" and then looking through the list to find the right label
(e.g. "eq:maxwell"), you type the number "(2.4)<F9>" (which has label
"eq:maxwell" before compilation into the aux-file) and it is expanded
automatically into "\eqref{eq:maxwell}".
As far as I see, if you want to ref an equation this way, you have to do
the compilation first, and the numbers probably will change after each
compilation. In case of a replacement, this means you need to have:
1) the up-to-date pdf/dvi file open all the time and
2) knowledge of the numbers, even if they are far away in the document.
For this reasons I would _strongly_ prefer to be able to choose which way
to use at all times.
Your method is very convenient, nonetheless and I would very much like to
use it!
All the best,
Simon
