Could you please summarize the whole process?
Thanks!

Okay, so I got a reply from the BBEdit staff and fortunately, it works
"as
advertised". In fact, the procedure is as Will writes and as I tried.
The
only thing that I did not do and was mandatory, apparently, is to
associate
bib files with the TeX language in Preferences > Languages > the lower
section.
Now it works as it should, I type a few letters from the citekey and
it
suggests completions.
Thanks Rich and thanks Will! :)

I know that this should be the theory, this is the way it should

it simply doesn't. I've written to Support, providing file samples,
let's
see what they say.
Thanks for the reply.

Once you have generated the tags file, if you begin typing a citekey
and
then invoke "Complete" (either from the Edit menu or with the
keyboard
shortcut), you should see a list of keys that match. This seems to
work
fine for me. The list of completions should also appear
automatically
assuming you have "Show text completions" set to "After a delay in
typing"
in the Editing pane of the Preferences.

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.

You can use ctags to generate a tags file from which BBEdit will
suggest completions. You can add the following lines to your
~/.ctags file
so that it will recognize the .bib entries.
--langdef=bib
--langmap=bib:.bib
--regex-bib=/^@[A-Za-z]+\{([^,]*)/\1/b,bib/

Yet another basic question which I hope would help me replace
Sublime
with BBEdit:
I've made a full BibTeX .bib file which contains all my
references,
that I include in any LaTeX file that I write and I simply cite
from there.
Now, as there are hundreds of entries and most of the citekeys
were
generated automatically by BibDesk, I have no reason to remember
them.
Sublime (or even Textmate and Atom) search in the .bib file for
completions. Say I have a book by Johnson and its cite key is
*jh16*.
If I write *\cite{*, it starts suggesting as completions, showing
me
the full list of bib entries, wherefrom I can search either
"Johnson" or jh
(if I remember).
Long story short: if I include a .bib file as reference in a
LaTeX
file, can BBEdit search through it and help me find the reference
I want to
cite? There are workarounds involving other apps, but I simply
want the
list display as other text editors provide, in BBEdit. Can it be
done?
In Sublime I even made it work with MMD files, citing as *<jh16>*
and
again I had the option to view all the entries.
Thank you, once again.
