Feature request: extend \ref to custom commands like \figref or \secref

[niosus]

When writing a huge document it is really helpful to define the way figures, sections, etc. are referenced in a single place to allow changing this at any point in time. Currently, LaTeXTools works with \ref and \eqref, but won't work with custom commands like \secref for sections or \figref for figures. Is it possible to extend the completion functionality to these too?

UPD: I have added a small PR to solve this issue. It would probably make more sense to add a setting for that, but I don't have the time now to look into how to do it here. I might return to this later if somebody finds it a useful feature.

Do you use the dropdown when pressing { or the autocompletion with ctrl+space?

[niosus]

In this issue I meant the dropdown triggering on typing smth like \figref. See the PR for a working example of what I mean.

If you only want that menu (other autocompletion is imo not really helpful for citations) you can just add this keybinding to your user keybindings:

    {
        "keys": ["{"],
        "command": "latex_fill_all",
        "args": { "completion_type": "ref", "insert_char": "{" },
        "context": [
            { "key": "selector", "operand": "text.tex.latex" },
            { "key": "preceding_text", "operator": "regex_match", "operand": "\\\\(?:sec|fig|tab)ref", "match_all": true },
        ],
    },

Cool! I did not think of doing this. Neat. I guess I can close the issue and the PR now.

Hmm, @r-stein this actually does not work on all my machines. Is there an easy way to debug this? I did not find any setting to control verbosity of plugin output in this plugin, is there one that I am missing?

[r-stein]

You can open the console and write sublime.log_commands(True) to see which commands are executed.
