Hi JT,
I haven't looked at the code in years, but I'm fairly sure that the BibDesk plugin would only look back within a certain range to see if you're in a \cite context, to avoid scanning backwards through an entire document. Computers might be fast enough now that the limit is obsolete, but you'd have to recompile TeXShop to change it.

Not sure if this is a problem of TeXShop or BibDesk.
I encountered a situation just now for a first time: I was writing a document using TeXShop, and on some topic I had to cite quite a few references. What I found out was that after quite a few cite keys (exact number depends on how long the total cite keys is), the autocomplete keybinding no longer be valid. Example,
Numerous studies show that ice cream is good to your health~\cite{cite1, cite2, cite3, cite4, ..., citeN (autocomplete does not work)}
Is this a known bug/feature?
