Thanks for your feedback and thanks for the compliment, but although I
don't know if they themselves copied it from somewhere, the credits for
"geniusness" really go to the Zotero [1] developers. Of course, the
implementation wasn't that trivial either ;) There is still the
filter-while-type interaction with the cloud missing, which is a
must-have for huge clouds.

I agree, that is good idea.

True, no more switching tabs, cool!
