No (at least not currently), because `f' is based on the reference name (not the node name, as we may have abusively said sometimes). Hence, if two references have the same name you currently can not type more characters, because the reference name has no file name component. I believe Juri wanted to make it possible to append a file name to the reference name to distinguish. (If I understood correctly.) The preference given to the reference at or closest to point does sound like a reasonable feature, doesn't it? Can give some bad surprises, like typing `f' followed by a reference one is seeing on the screen and the reader going to a "closer" off-screen reference of the same name. Anyway, in practice the situation only occurs in very special buffers like Juri's history buffer, so it is not worth an endless discussion. If you and Juri both believe that it is better to go with the stand-alone reader's behavior, then that is fine with me. Sincerely, Luc.
