Autocomplete: Quarto for VSCode

[VivaldoMendes]

I am using Quarto in VSCode. I wonder whether it is possible to use the autocomplete facilities for cross-references and citations. This is a convenient functionality, but I could not find it anywhere.

We don't currently support this, but agree that it would be a great feature. We'll mark this as something to consider as an improvement to the extension post 1.0.

The features already available in Quarto are amazing, given its young age. However, those two functionalities are extremely important for speed, avoiding typos, and friendliness. I know some colleagues who still use competitors due to this particular issue.

Yes, we have most of the infrastructure required to do this and will certainly make it a priority!

Sorry for coming back to this issue. A week ago, a tweet informed us that the autocompletion for citations in the VSCode extension had been implemented. I have updated my VSCode (with Quarto 1.30.0), but this facility is not working. Do we have to wait some more, or am I making some stupid mistake? Thanks a lot.

I believe this to be completed as part of the visual editor.

This should also work in the source editor.
