I'm working with TeXworks. It has some auto completions but not enough. How can I add some auto completion to it. Is there any way to add them from TeXmaker to TeXworks.

  • I read (tex.stack ... auto-complete). Then I went to D:\programs\texlive\texmf-config\texworks\completion and change the tw-latex.txt. I insert some codes for "bb" similar to "bf" everywhere then save and close it. But It doesn't work. – Hoseyn Heydari Nov 15 '13 at 08:52
  • What exactly did you insert? Was TeXworks open at the time? If so you need to restart it. – Torbjørn T. Nov 15 '13 at 08:59
  • mbb:=\mathbb{#INS#} before mbf:=\mathbf{#INS#} and
    \mathbb{#INS#}\mbb:=\mathbb{#INS#} before \mathbf{#INS#}\mbf:=\mathbf{#INS#}     – Hoseyn Heydari Nov 15 '13 at 09:06
  • Hm, worked fine here, in Kubuntu. If you in TeXworks choose Scripts --> Scripting TeXworks --> Show Scripts Folder, do you get the folder D:\programs\texlive\texmf-config\texworks\scripts? – Torbjørn T. Nov 15 '13 at 09:19

I collocated these in my discussion with Torbjørn T and this answer to find my way:

  1. You should open your TeXworks, choose Scripts--> Scripting TeXworks --> Show Scripts Folder.
  2. Then you will achieve folder like "C:\Users\user\TeXworks\scripts". You should go to Folder "C:\Users\user\TeXworks\completion" instead.
  3. TeXworks stores the completion data in a series of files called "tw-<name>.txt" here. You can edit related file i.e. add your completion with Notepad or create a new one for your self.(The format of work and some more is detailed here.)
  4. Then save and close it, restart your TeXworks and enjoy new completions.

The problem with a build folder can be avoided by changing the Bib(la)tex option from bibtex % to bibtex build/%. This should also be done with all other output files in the fields dvisp, Dvipdfm etc. This worked for me at least.
