I already tried that and it's not working. I also used the maketags command
for bbedit and it did create a tags file (which is good and correct), but I
don't get autocompletions or suggestions... The only thing I can do is
write a (part of a) citekey, select it then go Find in Reference, which
takes me to the .bib file.
But I want normal completions and suggestions, in a dropdown menu.
What is there to be done?
Thanks.
