cite autocomplete: no selection window

Thanks for the details! Turns out in my case the problem is not the bib file but keyboard customizer (Karabiner) somehow messing with the shortcut even though ⌥ + Esc is not mapped...sorry for the trouble and thanks again!

👋 Hi,

one reason for not showing a menu when you press ⌥ + Esc might be that the cite key at the current caret position is already unique. Maybe that is also the case for your example. Can you please try, if the steps below work on your machine?

1. Store the text:

   @webpage{two,
    Author = {Two},
    Date-Added = {2019-12-11 11:06:01 +0100},
    Date-Modified = {2019-12-11 11:06:23 +0100},
    Month = {2},
    Title = {Two},
    Url = {two.org},
    Year = {2},
    Bdsk-Url-1 = {two.org}}
   
   @webpage{one,
    Author = {One},
    Date-Added = {2019-12-11 11:02:23 +0100},
    Date-Modified = {2019-12-11 11:04:49 +0100},
    Month = {1},
    Title = {One},
    Url = {one.org},
    Year = {1},
    Bdsk-Url-1 = {one.org}}

   in the file References.bib in your Downloads folder.

2. Create a file called Completions.tex with the content:

   \documentclass{article}
   
   \usepackage{biblatex}
   
   \addbibresource{References.bib}
   
   \begin{document}
   \cite{}
   \end{document}

   and store it into the Downloads folder.

3. Open the file from the last step again and insert the caret between the braces of the cite command.

4. Press ⌥ + Esc

5. TextMate should now display the menu below.
