bib-finder

The package helps to find and insert bibliography keys. It supports multiple .bib files and utilizes fuzzy-finder for searching entries. The package can be used in any scope, making it suitable for files like LaTeX or Python (e.g., PyLaTeX).

Installation

To install bib-finder search for bib-finder in the Install pane of the Pulsar settings or run ppm install bib-finder. Alternatively, you can run ppm install bacadra/pulsar-bib-finder to install a package directly from the Github repository.

Usage

To use the package, you need a bibliography file in BibTeX format .bib. This file should be created and maintained by the user. There are two ways to use it:

• global: You can specify the file path in the package settings.
• local: You can copy the file to the project directory and enable the bib-finder.bibLocal flag.

Once you find the entry you want, you can press:

• Enter to insert <key>
• Alt-Enter to insert \cite{<key>}
• Ctrl-Enter to insert \cite[]{<key>}

You can use the special character @ for searching by type or # for searching by key.

Example of .bib file
