Complete on my macro definitions (e.g., as if they were a \ref)

[rdiaz02]

This is a question, not a bug. But I am not sure if this is even possible (I am new to using LSP).

I have some macros that texlab sees (I followed #100), and the macros themselves are completed.

For example, I have this:

\newcommand*{\qref}[1]{\hyperref[{#1}]{\textit{``\nameref*{#1}'' (section \ref*{#1})}}}

I would like that, after inserting \qref{} and when inside the {}, I was offered completions (e.g., for sec:, eq:, etc) as I am offered when I write \ref. Much like it happens, for example, with eqref .

The more general question is: is there a way to tell texlab to issue completions for a macro as if it were something else it already gives completions for?

(In case it matters, I am using Emacs with lsp-mode and lsp-latex).

And apologies if this is a stupid question. This is the sort of thing I can do with company-reftex (Emacs) by modifying the company-reftex-labels-regexp variable, so it now also completes after qref, for example. But I might be completely confused here.

For some commands, it is already possible (see texlab.experimental.citationCommands for example). For \ref-like commands, it will be possible with #1033.

And apologies if this is a stupid question.

Definitely not a stupid question ^^

Thanks a lot for your answer!! I'll keep an eye in the PR then, and I take note that I can do that with citations already.

Thanks!

@pfoerster Hi, thanks for your maintenance.
Could you please write document about "texlab.experimental.labelReferenceCommands"?
I would like to solve ROCKTAKEY/lsp-latex#46 but I don't know about this feature.

@ROCKTAKEY Sure: https://github.com/latex-lsp/texlab/wiki/Configuration#texlabexperimentallabelreferencecommands

It behaves like texlab.experimental.citationCommands except that it operates on \label instead of BibTeX entries.

Thanks!
