LaTeX-Workshop: Automatically trigger auto-completion inside a snippet
Description
I found this bug with \ref and it’s autocompletion for the labels. It could also apply to cite, didn’t tested it with cite. Just a quick gif to visualize as it might be easier to understand with the help of the gif:
The basic problem is if I use the autocompletion on the \ref command the label suggestions is not working after it. But if I type it out myself without using the autocompletion function then the label suggestion works. Furthermore, if I use the autocompletion but move the cursor outside of the autocompleted text, the autocompletion starts to work again.
Log messages
Log messages didn’t log anything.
How to reproduce
- Start typing
\refand use the suggestionreffor completion. - Suggestion for labels is not working
- Moving outside of the text from autocompletion, suggestions for labels start work again.

@werunom, the extension parses your tex file for listing all/some macros and then creates suggestions of the form
macro{arg}. This is what was happening with\textcite.@ahelm, the problem is that the first autocompletion (the one inserting
\ref{}) should automatically trigger a second one to insert the label. I will investigate this. Meanwhile, while inside the{}, you can manually trigger autocompletion (ctrl-space) and this works as expected.@werunom, I cannot find
\textcitein the snippets defined by the extension. Could it be that you defined it yourself. In this case, you can define it as\texticte{$0}instead of\textcite{${1:arg}}. See my comment to @ahelm just above.
