Hi, I am trying to follow this approach in the latex-help file:
In the case where what is expected is a label, then pressing escape will similarly offer all matching labels from the TeX document. Depending on your naming conventions, this could for instance offer a list of all theorems: If the labels for theorems are all of the form thm:labelname, and you have included the colon (:) in the list of word characters in TextMate’s preferences, then pressing escape when the caret is right before the closing brace in \ref{thm} will offer as completion options all labels corresponding to theorems. If there are many matching completions, it is often more convenient to use the pull-down-list versions of the commands, which are triggered by ⌥⎋.
I do have ":_" (just a colon and an underscore, no quotations)in the preference pane as Word Characters. Is this ok or do they need to be separated / in quotations / ... ? Neither pressing <escape> nor <escape> + <alt> while the caret is right in front of the closing bracket in latex mode, doesn't do anything.
Now, I looked into the bundle editor, into the latex bundle in my installation: 1) <escape> is the key equivalent for bibdesk completion 2) <alt>+<escape> is the key equivalent for "Citation based on Current Word / Selection" AND for "Label Based on Current Word / Selection" --- this seems a little weird to me. Is this how it should be originally? Or have I changed this accidently at some point?
I remember a time when hitting <escape> (I think) actually has worked and I used "eqn:" and "fig:" for labeling and referencing equations and figures, respectively. Should the difference between <alt>+<escape> and <escape> only that <alt>+<escape> should offer a pull-down list and hitting <escape> multiple times would move through the possible choices?
Is this something that got changed over the releases (I am working with cutting edge)? That leads me to another question: when a bundle gets updated in the bundle repository... do those changes get updated in each new (cutting edge) release or would I check them out and update them as I would with any other "default" bundle?
Thanks for your help, Claus

Can you produce a minimal LaTeX file showing the problem and send it to me? Is this a "master document/included files" situation, or are we only talking about a single file? What is the full path to the file and how is the master document specified, if there is one?
Does bibliography completion work? How and when did you install latex in your machine?

This is how it should be, they have different scope selectors, so get triggered in different contexts. The "escape" triggers completion, which you find under preferences items. It calls the same underlying script as the "alt+escape" command does.

Yes this is how it's supposed to work.

If you have checked the bundle out through the svn repository, you need to keep it updated via svn up. If you haven't ever messed with the bundle, you don't need to.
