Auto-completion of references from anywhere in the current project. about latextools HOT 11 CLOSED

It's on my TODO list. But, it's not a quick fix. Right now the code
just rescans the current file, which is very fast. I am afraid that,
in a serious multi-file project, that won't be a good idea. So, there
needs to be some caching... bottom line: it may be a bit complicated
to implement. But, again, it's definitely an important component of of
good multi-file support, so I'll get back to it when I have some more
time.

Thanks.

BTW if you haven't done so yet, please open this as an "Issue" on
github (I'm replying from gmail, so I havent' check if you have done
so or not). This way I can keep track of this. Thanks!

Perhaps a TeXShop like comment in the beginning of each file would work? E.g.

%!TEX bibliography = /path/to/bibfile.bib

from latextools.

sorry... I was thinking of citations, not references. Is the fix for citations possible?

from latextools.

Just a thought: for citations, as long as the \bibliography command is in the master file, this could be easily added. Again, I'll see what I can do.

from latextools.

That would also be great!

from latextools.

Just to say this would be very useful for me too. Currently, a bilbiography in the master file isn't scanned when invoking cite_ in a “subfile”.

On the multifile references, what about rescanning only open files as a start? I usually invoke subl -n *.tex in my working directory, and have no more than 5 or 6 files, one per paper section. This just helps me work with co-authors with minimal conflicts. This would avoid having to scan the local directory and find files that share the same master, etc.

Love the package!

In Texmaker you can define one file as a Masterfile. Couldn't this be also used in this case? Another advantage is, that you can trigger the build process from every file belonging to the project and you don't have to return to the parent file manually.

from latextools.

Actually, you can also define a Masterfile using the LaTeXTools bundle using TeXShop syntax. Just have the following comment in the beginning of your .tex file.

%!TEX root = <path to master file>

from latextools.

Yes, but the !TEX directory is not used for citation completion. That's on my TODO list.

from latextools.

Now supported, closing.
