open drop-down (show all) on @... (like latexing)

[maxheld83]

I originally (stupidly) raised this as a bug (#12), but I still think it would be nice to have the citer > show all dropdown show up automatically on @....

Tab completion is great, but often, I want to cite some pieces by the same author, and tab autocompletion will always give me the exact same citekey then (naturally).

Also, the present dropdown has great fuzzy matching (? is that even the right word?), and tab completion doesn't.

Getting into Citer > Show all kind of kills the flow during writing.

I understand this might be annoying for some people, because @ isn't as unique as the LaTeX commands \cite{... is, but it might be an optional setting.

Not sure how much work that would be.

I would like that, if it could wait for a few letters before showing all suggestions. If the bibtex file is big, this can take time to show all references.

I'm still unsure as to what to do about this. I should point out that if you set the right auto-complete settings, there is already a dropdown. You can trigger it manually with ctrl-space . It's not searchable however - https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/auto_complete.html

A quick workaround that I did was to bind a key to citer_show_keys command.
Wheneve I want to insert a citation I just hit ctrl+c i and enter the key and forget about a clumsy @.
Here is a snippet that can be added to sublime user keybindings:

// Keybindings for Citer to insert bib entry
	{
	    "keys": ["ctrl+c","i"],"command": "citer_show_keys","context": 
	    [
	      {
	        "key": "selector",
	        "operator": "equal",
	        "operand": "text.html.markdown.academicmarkdown"
	      }
	    ]
	  }
