Currently, bibtex only completes on .aux files, ignoring all other extensions. In fact, bibtex also processes .bib and .bst files. 

Here a part of Wikipedia bibtex entry:

In the words of the program's author: "Here's how BibTeX works. It takes as input

    (a) an .aux file produced by LaTeX on an earlier run;
    (b) a .bst file (the style file), which specifies the general reference-list style and specifies how to format individual entries, and which is written by a style designer [..] in a special-purpose language [..], and
    (c) .bib file(s) constituting a database of all reference-list entries the user might ever hope to use.

Therefore, bibtex should accept .bib and .bst extensions in addition to .aux it uses now.


Thanks for taking care of this.
