Please make it possible to set one of the sources as default, so that its name is shown at the prompt and you only need to press enter to use it.

Thank you for the good suggestion! I pushed a new commit https://github.com/cute-jumper/gscholar-bibtex/commit/f499e290c1bc84068c4fe0c0326b3611dd17cde9 and I think basically what you've mentioned should be implemented in this commit, although I'm still not sure whether this kind of behavior of the default source is "correct".

Simply speaking, you just set the value of `gscholar-bibtex-default-source' to the name of your preferred source. Here I copy the content of the Default source section in the README.org:

If you have a preferred source, you can set it as default so you don't have to type the name to select the source every time you call `gscholar-bibtex'. Say if you want to set "Google Scholar" as default: : (setq gscholar-bibtex-default-source "Google Scholar")

Note that in order to make it work, you have to make sure the source name is correct and you don't disable the source that you set as default, otherwise the default source setting has no effect. Besides, if you only have one source enabled, then the enabled source automatically becomes the default, regardless of the value of `gscholar-bibtex-default-source'.

Any comments are welcome!

Excellent! Just what I had in mind. In my opinion, anything that saves key presses is the correct bahaviour. Thanks!
