biblatex: \parencite, \textcite does not list references

[chbuschmann]

The usual biblatex commands does not seem to fetch references in .bib.

This. I, and many others I'm sure, would be very grateful for the addition of biblatex citation support.

Unfortunately the level of regex hacking that appears to be required is beyond me!

For the Python version, I came up with this monstrosity which supports all the various citation commands from biblatex, natbib, csquotes, and apacite. Hasn't been merged into the Python version yet, however, because I keep hoping there's a better way.

Wouldn't it be okay to just to use an exhaustive list of cite commands for bibtex, biblatex and natbib and allow the user to add theirs if needed? There aren't that many cite commands.

[ig0774]

This should be fixed in v0.8.1.

[PaulEcoffet]

The issue is not fixed for biblatex. \citep and \citet are indeed working for natbib, but \parencite and \textcite do not trigger the ref panel.

@PaulEcoffet: I don't know what to tell you... They certainly work for me with v0.8.1. Can you provide more detail (are you just typing, e.g. \parencite followed by the { key? Are you using either of the optional arguments, etc.?

[PaulEcoffet]

I have found the issue, it is because { does not trigger the
latextools:cite-keypress. I guess it is because i have to type alt-y to
type a { on my keyboard and it is linked with the issue #98 . I was able to
make it works with citep last time apparently but I am no longer able to.
If I type \parencite{,, then the comma triggers the menu. I'll use the
module you recommanded me in #98 to make my { working.
