[Github-comments] [geany/geany] LaTeX autocompletion not working for macros (#1000)

[Marcelo Garlet Millani]

> AFAICT when you type `\macr` the current code searches backwards to find the prefix to lookup in the symbols. What adding the backslash to wordchars does is to include the backslash as part of the symbol prefix, so it is never found in the symbols since they are stored without the backslash​.

But the problem of autocompleting words not preceded by `\` is unaffected. And since a LaTeX document normally has more text than macros, this can be quite annoying.

Well, it does have something for autocomplete [here](https://github.com/geany/geany-plugins/blob/master/geanylatex/src/geanylatex.c#L515), but it seems to be only for things like automatically inserting braces.
