--- Comment #2 from Mike Christie <[email protected]> ---
I wouldn't want to make a blanket statement, and I can recall situations where
the fact that an object remains selected was useful -- going straight back into
a cite to fix an error I just realized I made, for example.  For some things,
such as links, I think it's definitely better to deselect -- it's absolutely
normal for a user to want to continue typing.  For templates, I can see an
argument for keeping the selection.  Citations seem to me more like links than
templates in this way.

I think the design question is: what would a user who is expert in VE want the
system to do to maximize productivity?  I think the answer is going to be to
leave it unselected more often than not.

One other thought: just as there's a "Save" and also a "Save and new" pair of
buttons in some interfaces, there might be a "Save and add another citation"
button on the interface, or something along those lines.  But perhaps that's a
separate enhancement suggestion.
