I was wondering whether it would be feasible to add auto-completion for creating indices.
I'd image it should be possible to reuse the mechanism for auto-completion of cite-keys and get it to read the .idx
(or .idn
if that's easier) files...?
As indices can get very long and one doesn't always remember how a particular entry starts, it would be a huge help if the auto-completion would search all parts of the existing index-entries (perhaps eligible as an option in Preferences)
E.g.:
Typing "\index{TeX…" in texstudio would then also list entries like:
\index{CTAN (Comprehensive TEX Archive Network)} \index{LaTeX@\LaTeX} \index{macro languages!LaTeX@\LaTeX}
perhaps even with highlighting the matching letters.
An ideal solution for me would also be aware of multiple indices as offered by the index
-package.
Thank you for considering!
Best regards,
Florian.
