Just how long are these keys you are using?
The combox is about 20 characters wide and admittedly a comma separated
list in the text input field will require scrolling but its still visible.
That reminds me, Alejandro it would still be handy to scan the actual
bibitem insets in a file for the case of comma separated lists. Which is
another problem we need to figure out for 1.1 -- how to provide the combox
and allow appending of multiple citations in a single citation inset.

Either that or use shorter keys ;P
Or do the labels on the form get truncated as well?
