Hi Abdel,
If you mean without the mouse, yes, it's possible:

Alt-i c
optional step: type the first letter to speedup this operation.
Down arrow until your desired citation is selected.
Enter
Enter.

thanks for your answer but this is not what I meant 'cause this is they way I do it right now but this still take some time: in the German version of I have to type

Alt-e
z
Alt-s (to focus the search field)
Ctrl-v (to insert the BibTeX-Key, arrows are not an option because there are almost 300 entries in the database)
Alt-V (to search for the item)
Enter
Enter

since there are approximately ~10 citations per page this just gets annoying...

I was thinking of something analog to the way of inserting a footnote: mark the text press Alt-e f and the text is put in a footnote..

I see, unfortunately, there is no such thing. Please put an enhancement request in bugzilla.

The good news is that it will be a bit faster in 1.5 were the citation dialog has been redesigned with "search as type" feature. So you'll have at least 2 less operations:
Alt-i
c
Alt-f (to focus the find field)
Alt-v (to focus the "Available Citation" list)
Enter

Maybe we could also map the Enter key in the find field to avoid the Alt-v step. I'll see what I can do.

Abdel.
