Oh, wow, thanks for pointing this out at https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/6294. I guess I would precisely not like the entries to be unified, but rather to automatically generate a crossref from seke08Schoenberger
to seke08
, because if I actually paste the seke08
entry, then I do that because more "subentries", croossreferencing seke08
are expected by me.
Maybe, it should be configurable (per library - refs https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/8701).
Reason: As a master or PhD student, when "quickly" collecting references, one "just" harvests one or two references for a conference. As a senior researcher, one wants a real "proper" maintained collection.

Note, there was an "interesting" approach using variant-encoding in BibTeX: https://www.cs.cornell.edu/people/egs/crosstex/index.php. "Scientific" article. http://svn.tug.org/TUGboat/tb28-3/tb90burgess.pdf
I was once trying to have JabRef ported to that, but that lead to a completely new JabRef (https://github.com/JabRef/CrossRefX), which we did not follow up.
If you like the CrossTeX idea, maybe, it is worth to give it more thought.

I respond in smalltalk ;) wow, thanks for the CrossTeX pointer. Very interesting, indeed. However, in my specific position, no chance I engage with the CrossTeX coding community, which seems quite asleep, at least, looking at https://github.com/el33th4x0r/crosstex/.

Sure! With "it", I meant: Integrating in JabRef, offering conversion to plain BibTeX in JabRef, ...

When I paste an entry like this in JabRef, I want it to be merged into a single entry.
Even more improved version: lookup if a similar
@proceedings
exists and show merge entries dialog for that. Adaptcrossref
of@inproceedings
accordingly.
