I'm working on it - especially that \cite as preference works. Reason: We should not force all users to adapt their preferences. JabRef should keep working. See #10568 (comment) for a discussion.

Ah I see, we then would need a migration step

If the cite command in the preferences equals \cite then replace it with the new format

The issue also happens if the user enters something wrong in the preference field. Currently, key1key2 is then used. Which can be done better. I am working on it.

I will output an info

INFO: Wrong indexes -1 -1 for completeCiteCommand \cite. Using default delimiter and suffix.

\cite then automatically turns into \cite{key1,key2}

Registry setting Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Prefs\org\jabref -> cite/Command, content \cite will be magically converted by that parsing, too.

I went through the items of #10615 and worked on all of them (e.g., adding more test cases). Should be fine now 😅
