Working with .bib files autocomplete references using @ and tab

[victorfeagins]

In Rstudio I was utilizing a .bib file to use references in my document. I noticed that @ symbol is not able to detect the references inside my .bib file specified in my YAML and I have to type them in manually.

Overleaf has this feature when using \ref{} and thought it might be a nice addition.

Rstudio does support a visual mode which does resolve / suggest @ using the bibliography (it will also resolve cross references). There is some other special sauce like a pretty robust ability to insert citations from other sources (Zotero libraries, DOI, etc...) which automates the addition of the citation to your bibliography file.

Wow yep you are correct. I prefer to working in the source mode, so I didn't see it.
