Now when using escape in a cite scope, I get a spinning beach ball and I have to kill the command via Command-. . If I use Alt +Esc I also get the spinning beach ball and after killing the command I get this error message:
Sounds like it has trouble parsing the bib-file. Can you send me the offending bib file, and also try with a smaller/simpler bib file?
I sent you the file off list.
Ok, there were two problems with it. The one is that you were using dots in the cite keys, and my code was not expecting that. So I fixed the code and submitted a commit.
The other is that you have "terms@del.icio.us" in the Annote field at some point. That at sign is throwing the system off. Change it to "terms at del.icio.us" and svn up it should work just fine.
(It's a bit harder to work around that one, and I'm not even sure it's entirely valid, though I don't really know).
As long as you're within the entry, this should be valid BibTeX (and a quick test indicates that BibDesk parses it without complaint). Of course, this is also valid:
@article ( citekey , author = "Ann Author", title = {Mixing quotes is bad}, date = "17~" # jun, keywords = "BibTeX syntax is b{"a}d" )
so about the best you can do with an ad-hoc parser is fail gracefully when you find something weird ;).
