I am using emacs 27.1-4.1 with Spacemacs v.o.200.13 Ivy and vims. I am relatively new to emacs and am expanding into bibtex with ivy-bibtex. in my .spacemacs file is:
(autoload 'ivy-bibtex "ivy-bibtex" "" t)
(setq ivy-re-builders-alist
'((ivy-bibtex . ivy--regex-ignore-order)
(t . ivy--regex-plus)))
(setq bibtex-completion-bibliography '("/home/rherbert/Documents/Library/Bib_Files/FN_Rights.bib")
bibtex-completion-library-path '("/home/rherbert/Documents/Library/Bib_PDFs/")
bibtex-completion-notes-path "/home/rherbert/Documents/Library/Bib_Files/FN_Quotes.org")
(setq bibtex-completion-additional-search-fields '(keywords))
(setq bibtex-completion-format-citation-functions
'((org-mode . bibtex-completion-format-citation-org-title-link-to-PDF)
(latex-mode . bibtex-completion-format-citation-cite)
(markdown-mode . bibtex-completion-format-citation-pandoc-citeproc)
(default . bibtex-completion-format-citation-default)))
(setq bibtex-completion-pdf-symbol "⌘")
(setq bibtex-completion-notes-symbol "✎")
I have no problem entering references in the bib file. After filing in the bibtex template I C-c to cleanit up and then :w to save. There is no problem searching the bib file with ivy-bibtex. However, bibtex does not capture a note and send it into the .org file set to receive it.
Any suggestions for why the capture is not working?
[note that the symbol for notes does not work either, but that is a minor problem]
