Autocomplete & slash commands

The editor completes three things as you type: LaTeX commands, cross-references, and citations. Add the / slash menu for structure, and most documents can be written without typing boilerplate.

Suggestions appear automatically while typing; Ctrl+Space summons them anywhere. Accept with Tab or Enter.

Command completion

Type a backslash and keep going: \sec… offers \section, \fra… offers \frac. Around 35 everyday commands are covered, including sectioning (\section through \paragraph), text formatting (\textbf, \textit, \emph, \underline), document structure (\usepackage, \input, \maketitle, \tableofcontents), math (\frac, \sqrt, \sum, \int), references (\label, \ref, \eqref, \cite, \footnote), and figures (\includegraphics).

Completions insert as snippets with tab-stops: accept \frac and you get \frac{│}{} with the cursor in the numerator; Tab hops to the denominator. Environment completions like \itemize, \enumerate, \equation, and \align insert the whole \begin…\end block with the cursor inside.

Reference completion

Inside \ref{, \eqref{, \pageref{, \autoref{, \cref{, or \Cref{, the menu lists every \label{} defined in your document. No more scrolling up to remember whether you called it fig:arch or fig:architecture.

Citation completion

Inside \cite{ and its variants (\citep, \citet, \citeauthor, \citeyear, \parencite, \textcite), the menu lists the citation keys from your project’s .bib files, which are parsed automatically when the project opens.

If the paper isn’t in your .bib yet, that’s what citation lookup is for: paste a DOI or title and Oleafly adds the entry and the \cite in one step.

The slash menu

Type / anywhere and a Notion-style insert menu opens, filtering as you type:

Command	Inserts
/section, /subsection	Sectioning commands
/itemize	Bulleted list
/enumerate	Numbered list
/item	A list item
/equation	Display equation environment
/align	Aligned multi-line equations
/frac	A fraction
/figure	A complete figure float with \includegraphics and \caption
/table	A table float with a starter tabular
/bold, /italic	\textbf{}, \textit{}
/label	\label{}
/usepackage	\usepackage{}

Everything inserts as a snippet with tab-stops, so Tab walks you through the blanks (caption, then label, then onward).

Good to know

• Tab does double duty: it accepts an open suggestion, otherwise it indents.
• Completion menus close when you click elsewhere; Esc dismisses them explicitly.
• File-path completion inside \input{} or \includegraphics{} isn’t there yet; the file tree and the /figure snippet are the current route.
