Although I do agree with your suggested improvements, I should point out
that QuicKeys 3.0 enables me to circumvent some navigational limitations.
For example, typing an author's name, editing the reference, closing it
then opening the next one makes a simple shorcut:

1. Choose were you want the highlighted reference, say X lines from the
bottom of the window, then define a single click shortcut from the window's
bottom left corner on the left side of that very line you want to be
highlighted;
2. Define a sequence with the keystroke (Com-Arrow Up) of your choice;
3. Begin the sequence with a "Repeat X-1 times" shortcut; 
4. Insert a "LineDown" shortcut;
5. Insert an "End Repeat" shortcut;
6. Import the click previously defined into the sequence;
7. Insert a "Begin Repeat: Display Dialog asking how many times": enter
the number of continuous references you want to edit;
8. Insert an alias shortcut "Com-E" to edit the highlighted reference; 
9. Insert a "Wait until Other Action: User Event: Escape" shortcut. When
you're over editing the reference, press escape.
10. Insert a "Close Window" shortcut;
11. Insert a "LineDown" shortcut;
12. Import once more the click you've already defined: this will highlight
the following reference, which has now moved to the position the edited
reference was;
13. Insert an "End Repeat" shortcut.

Et voila. Just type the author's name, the first reference will highlight
at the very bottom of the window, press the sequence shortcut's keystroke
(Com-Arrow Up) and edit your references, pressing escape each time you've
finished editing one.

Of course, one can simply combine the click to stabilize the highlight and
the line down/up shortcut to define a sequence which will go through all
references down or up, and press "Com-E" whenever one wishes to edit a
reference. 

Hope it helps.
