The most common refdb-mode commands are accessible through keyboard shortcuts. The common prefix of these commands is Ctrl-cCtrl-r. The remainder of the key sequences are grouped by the purpose of the commands in a similar fashion as in the menu. Reference and notes management functions use r and n as a prefix, respectively. Commands that retrieve references by exact match and by regexp match use g and x as a prefix, respectively. The corresponding prefixes for notes management are o and p. Retrieving references and notes on region requires the Ctrl-g and Ctrl-o prefixes. Insert commands use the i prefix, select commands use the s prefix, and commands related to transforming documents and citing references use c as a prefix.
