Hello List,

This is a small problem, but since I encounter it many times a day I thought that I'd ask it on the list, maybe there is a solution for it, or there is something that I don't kknow.

Let's say I have a figure with \label{fig:plin-power-up}. When I want to refer to this figure using \ref command, when I type "\ref{plin" and press option+esc, the label that I am looking for is not properly found. I have to scroll through a long list of labels (including labels that don't have the word plin at all) to find the correct one. On the other hand, if I type "\ref{fig:plin" and press the option+esc keyboard shortcut, I am presented with the correct label (the list is much shorter this time), but when I select it from the list and press enter what I get is \ref{fig:fig:plin-power-up}. Then I have to go back and delete the extra "fig:"

Is there something that I am doing wrong?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Best,

Hooman Javidnia
