Setting to input unicode-latex directly in editor #2

Closed cossio closed 6 years ago

I am thinking of the behavior of the atom latex completions extension:

https://github.com/JunoLab/atom-latex-completions

For me having to open the command, enter "Insert Unicode ...", and finally typing '\alpha', is a hassle. It would be nice if (perhaps by doing some config), \alpha be replaced directly with the unicode character, maybe by pressing TAB.

Could this be supported with this extension?

Sorry for not looking into this for such a long time.

Doing it the way atom extension does it should be possible by providing the completions as snippets, or possibly by registering a CompletionItemProvider.

ojsheikh commented 6 years ago

Added autocompletion last week. It is currently only for plain text files as I rather not pollute the list of completions, especially for languages where '\' is used extensively. Feel free to open an issue if that is insufficient for your use-case(s).

The implementation uses a CompletionItemProvider instead of snippets because snippets seem to require whitespace between symbols.

Is there any way to enable support for other languages, for instance Coq (.v files)?

I'd also like to enable auto-complete in another language. Could this be user-configurable? (E.g. choose a list of file extensions or languages in settings)
