[maɽuɽu] — interject., polynesian word for thank you
In version 12, switched to a flat-looking icon instead of its old glossy, robot-like face.
I happen to prefer the old one, in particular because it fits better with the rest of OS X, so I wanted to revert.

BibDesk is a very functional and performant bibliography manager for OS X. It is free and open source and has been my tool of choice for many years. Its main window is organised along a classic Mail-esque layout: list of sources on the left, list of records on the right, bottom pane showing the detail of the currently selected record(s). The information displayed in the bottom pane is left to the complete discretion of the user thanks to a very powerful template system.
The default template is straightforward: a list of fields and their values. I wanted something more compact so that I could see most of the information related to at least one record on my 13″ MacBook screen. Some fields can easily be combined on one line (volume, number, pages, etc.). The most voluminous fields left would then be the abstract and my personal notes. Furthermore, those fields have long sentences and reading them spread across the whole screen was . A natural solution was therefore to design a template with two columns, which both saves space and makes for shorter lines.
I often work with two or three windows side by side (a text editor and a terminal, a Finder window and a browser, etc.) and I like my windows to be neatly organised in space. I can of course move and resize windows with the mouse but it is both imprecise and tedious. I prefer keyboard shortcuts and the following details how I get them.
