BTW, per the bibtex-actions README, there are a few other small
packages you want to install for the best experience.

https://github.com/bdarcus/bibtex-actions#installation

For example, consult, in addition to all the convenience commands it
offers, also includes consult-completing-read-multiple, which replaces
default completing-read-multiple with a UI that is much better suited
to these long candidate strings.
