Sorry, but I am lost. How does \cites have anything to do with interactive selection of multiple citations at once? > Yes looks like only `org-cite-basic--complete-key' supports inserting > citations among org-cite's built-in processors, but it is also about > `org-cite-make-insert-processor' producing a lambda that always asks for > multiple citations from the 'select-key' function in its last case. It feels wrong to try solving UI problems on oc.el level. oc.el has no relation to UI specifics. I think we may have some misunderstanding about how `completing-read-multiple' works. You do not have to select multiple keys there. `completing-read-multiple' allows entering a single citation key. By default `completing-read-multiple' simply allows you entering key1, key2, key3<RET> for multiple keys or just key1<RET> for one. In such scenario, the problem you described is not a problem - you may always enter a single key1 if you wish to. > Converting `org-cite-basic--complete-key' to `completing-read-multiple', > preferrably by default looks like a sweet solution?

That's what I am leaning to - modifying oc-basic.el rather than oc.el itself. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode maintainer, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
