Keyboard focus is lost after the author's last name is added #2790

What happened?

I use Better BibTex 6.7.160 with JurisM 6.0.22m6. I need to add a long bibliography list. Since it is a time-consuming procedure, I would prefer to use keyboard as much as possible, switching between fields with Tab and Enter buttons, without using mouse. However, when I add an author's last name in a new entry, the focus is lost, making it necessary for me to use the mouse to add the author's first name.

I imagine this is due to Better BibTex's automatic update of the citation key after the author's name is added. It would be wonderful if the automatic update could be done without the loss of focus.

Unfortunately Juris-M has fallen behind Zotero so far that it was no longer feasible to support them both. It is my understanding that work on Juris-M has since picked back up, but I do not know what the current state of things is.

I'm surprised BBT works at all on current Juris-M, but there are going to be places where it breaks -- my test suite doesn't even start on Juris-M currently.
