[Tex/LaTex] Mac OS Sierra: Auto Complete Not Working In TeXShop

auto-completionmactexshop

After upgrading my Mac to macOS Sierra, I have an issue relating to BibDesk (v. 1.6.7) completions in TeXShop (v. 3.73); they don't work.
Previously, if I typed "\ref{" or "\cite{" and (while BibDesk was open) pressed Esc it would give me a list of all possible options contained in my document, but after upgrading to Sierra it isn't working at all.

Is anyone else having this problem, or a fix for it?

Thanks!

The Esc key has been used (by default---it can be configured to be the Tab key) as the trigger key for command completion, NOT for filling in \cite commands. You use the F5 key for filling in \cite commands with the .bib file(s) open in BibDesk.

Check if perhaps you need:

/Library/TeX/Distributions/.DefaultTeX/Contents/Programs/texbin/pdflatex -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex

That worked for me!

I just spoke with the author of TeXShop and he suggests that you have AutoSave turned off. You can turn it back on using

defaults write TeXShop AutoSaveEnabled YES

to restore it. Also, search for AUTOSAVE in the Help->TeXShop Help Panel… for information about how AutoSave works but note that some of that description is different in recent versions of macOS; e.g., picking up previous versions of a document is under the File->Revert Menu.
