Mockup

I believe we have to separate the overview and insert actions from creating a
new entry. The mockup shows the idea; I moved a couple of less important
functions into a context menu to have only the most relevant actions on
buttons.

Some remarks:

Display remainder of name...
* does not work (DUM => no DUMMY) and should be on by default

AutoText menu > Edit (Opens the selected AutoText...)
* no additional value

Save links relative to
* no clear need for two options here

Categories
* functions are available only for content in the user space; should be made
more clear eg. by showing the items as disabled 
* path modification could go into this dialog, if needed her at all
* Rename applies to the selection and what is entered under the (new) category
name; could be done inline
* Delete works only if the matching path is selected (and fails silently
otherwise); better autoselect the path
