Fixed cross reference layout "Only label and number"

I was annoyed by the same thing, and even more by the fixed mini size of the dialog (shame on the responsible designer!). So I wrote a macro to insert cross references more comfortably. It works as follows (after you have assigned a hotkey to it):

  1. Position the cursor to where the crossref should be inserted
  2. Press the hotkey => a temporary bookmark is inserted (grey square brackets if you have configured them to be shown)
  3. Navigate to the element to which the crossref is to be inserted, e.g. a figure label or a headline. I find it especially comfortable to use the navigation pane / Headlines to quickly navigate to the destination.
  4. Press the hotkey again. The cursor jumps back to the original location and inserts the crossreference there.
