Try pressing opt-esc with the caret inside of \cite{KEYWORD}, where KEYWORD is part of the author names or title.

that is what i did, without success. i started debugging the problem and it seems to me, that entries without date in the bibtex file are the problem. i am traveling right now. once i get home i will have a closer look at it again.

Hello there,
I am having the exact same issue, if you found a solution could you please share it?

[dakiefer]

I did not fix the problem. I am quite sure it is something with the format of your bibtex file. maybe making sure that EVERY entry in your bibtex has a cite-key, title, author AND date will work as a workaround.

Any solution for this yet? I am currently having the same issue. Even though I have bib entries with author, title, key and date (as separate month and year fields), it doesn't autocomplete.

Hi,

the last update should fix some problems concerning “Insert Citation”. If you have any problems with the new code, then please comment below or open a new issue. Please do not forget to also include steps to reproduce the problem.

Thanks,
René

By the way: One of the easiest way to insert a citation:

1. Open a tex file
2. Navigate to the place where you want to place the reference
3. Press ⌥⎋
4. Press 2
5. Select the citation you want

You can also narrow down the list of citations by writing down some characters that are part of the citation before you press ⌥⎋. This even works with regex patterns. For example: If you want all citations that contain Xen or xen then select the pattern [Xx]en before step 3.
