One of the things i like about mathematica are the shortcuts esc-rho-
esc for the symbol rho, etc. I'd really like some shortcuts for

a) tagging cells,
b) and inserting references.

I find that having to use the mouse to tag a cell, and then use the
mouse to insert an equation reference is a real pain.

Do you know how that could be done John?
