What do you want?
Would it be possible to allow the user to change the order of the suggested completion, or even to move some item in a "less important" section? E.g. in:
I’d prefer to have:
.tex
files appear first, before the .pdf (these are the "important extensions" I care about)hey.tex
andhey-backup.tex
orhey-pratend-foo.tex
, I would prefer to have the shorter files listed first: sometimes, I can even type the full name, and the file is listed at the very end of the line, making it hard to select:(not that these screenshots are taken with a relatively old version (~1y) so things might have changed a bit now, but I see nothing in the doc about that anyway)
Why do you want this?
In LaTeX, you get an enormous amount of temporary files created during compilation, and most of the time only the
.tex
file and the.pdf
files are important. Sometimes, some.tex
files are also created with the same prefix but with an additional part in the name (the-pratend
in the screenshot). This means that completion of these kind of files is very hard, and it is often easier to type the full name manually.Who else would benefit from this?
People that care about some extensions more than others, so at least any LaTeX user.
How should it work?
The user should provide in configuration something like:
When I perform the following steps:
Then I expect the following to happen:
