No, you have it right and clearly have a use for shortcuts. If you want
to type shortcut citations yourself, then the choice is either to accept
some kind of terminator, e.g. {}, or a restriction that citation keys
not end in punctuation characters.
It's been years since I've actually typed in a citation. Reftex and
Ebib both do a flawless job and I rely on them completely now.
Shortcuts aren't useful in this work flow.
All the best,
Tom
