That's what `org-cite-basic--complete-key' is currently doing, yes. Non not-stop, but until you enter an empty input. Why it is so hard to enter empty input in some completion styles is a separate question. An alternative could be using `completing-read-multiple' where you can enter, for example, comma-separated list of citations or a single citation as you prefer. > In Latex, \cite is also more commonly used and more asked/documented > compared to \cites.

I would like to understand better what the actual problem is. Is it really with asking for multiple citations? Or is it about specific default behavior of `org-cite-basic--complete-key'? Have you tried alternative citation processors that provide custom completion like citar? -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode maintainer, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
