When I start AUCTeX there are no completions available for reftex-citation. I have to give it a regular expression first and then after selecting a citation it will be in the history for reftex-citation and also I can tab-complete to it in the prompt for reftex-citation. It seems like it would be easier to just tab out a citation key if I know its beginning and have the citations completed from the bibliography database instead of history. Is this possible?
I figured out how to do this, which I've described in response to a question http://stackoverflow.com/a/11660493/494061 as well. I will copy my response here:
The documentation of reftex-citation is a bit confusing. It promises completion on known citation keys but I believe "known" refers to keys that have been used previously in this session rather than all keys in the appropriate bibliography. You can use the LaTeX-add-all-bibitems-from-bibtex command defined below to load all keys in your bibliography:
(defun get-bibtex-keys (file) (with-current-buffer (find-file-noselect file) (mapcar 'car (bibtex-parse-keys)))) (defun LaTeX-add-all-bibitems-from-bibtex () (interactive) (mapc 'LaTeX-add-bibitems (apply 'append (mapcar 'get-bibtex-keys (reftex-get-bibfile-list)))))Suggestions on appropriate hooks to make this happen automatically are welcome.
Thanks! Michael
