Provide simple way to start edit of bibliography: In case of ibliography command launches BibEdit, In case of `thebibliography' environment opens file with him. If no bibliography in you document it helps to create it. + `cite' (Alt+C) inserts `cite' LaTeX command. However, at second call (when cite{} is already under cursor) it launches BibEdit or dialog with list of available bibliography entries. + `Insert Indexing Stuffs' lets you prepare document for indexing in one click. + ` ef' (Ctrl+R) and `pageref' (Ctrl+P) like to cite command, at second click, show list of labels in current document. + `Graphics|Graphics File' (inserts `includegraphics') detects that cursor is already under some `includegraphics' command and edit it instead of inserting another command.
