LaTeX Workshop Intellisense not indexing all commands

[janwil123]

I am using VSCode + LaTeX-Workshop for a math book that makes heavy use of tikz-euclide package. It is not one of the 'standard' packages in the sense that it does not come with its own .cwl file. This should be OK as the LaTeX-Workshop Intellisense documentation states: "The files of a LaTeX project are searched for any already used commands in the form mycommand followed by several {} groups. Then, a snippet is dynamically built for each of them and they are added to the command completion list."

I seem to remember that up to some point the tikz-euclide commands I used in the project indeed appeared as snippets, but not any more. This is sad because the tikz-euclide commands are rather long. It is still possible that I myself am doing something wrong, but I am unsure how to debug this problem. Where can I find the current command completion list for example? How can I check which files are the ones that intellisense engine actually scans? Do I need to have some config options that I should re-check?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Unfortunately tikz related code is too different from standard LaTeX code to be parsed safely by the javascript parser we use. Hence, we skip the tikzpicture environment when looking for already used commands

LaTeX-Workshop/src/providers/completer/reference.ts

Lines 171 to 173 in edb8b17

	if (node.type === 'environment' && ['tikzpicture'].includes(node.env)) {
	return []
	}

We should update the documentation accordingly.

Your best option is to write a limited cwl file for commands you use from tikz-euclide. Then, follow the steps described in https://github.com/James-Yu/LaTeX-Workshop/wiki/Intellisense#commands-starting-with- to integrate your own cwl file into LW.
