In the select entry type window there are some recommended entry types.

It would be good if you could customize this list in the preferences panel.

Very interesting. However, as @ilippert pointed out, for those who work/study in specific fields, it would be very useful to be able to customize the “recommended entries” list.

@Siedlerchr , is this technically feasible or is this one of those 1000 hour issues?

Should be doable Medium effort. Basically you would need to store a list of entry types to show in the preferences and load this.

I see three parts:

  1. Creating a Preference view for customizing the UI or maybe even directly as part of the dialog? e.g. Right click Add/Remove
  2. Store and load the configuration (list of entry types) per bibtex/biblatex
  3. Display the entry types in the UI dialog
