Hello:)

1. I know that my use of Latex is different from the majorities of

the users because I create especially packages. I need to have a really different completion. I need for example :

newcommand renewcommand RequirePackage newcounter setcounter stepcounter newlength etc..

for xkeyval

define@cmdkey define@boolkey presetkeys....

for ifthen

ifthenelsee etc....

etc...

I would like to know the good way to obtain this

Is it necessary that I modify LateXCommandCompletions.rb ?

I now added all the above commands, as well as all commands in the index of the LaTeX Companion, up to M. Will add the rest when I get a chance. It includes also commands containing the at sign, @. To use those, you must set @ to be a word character. Let me know if there are any commands missing.

2. But I do not understand why in the LateXCommandCompletions.rb,

there are words like pi, Pi, lim etc ... words with 2 or 3 letters ?

Which is the interest to complement these words?

It just has to do with where the list of commands came originally. It came from the commands that the grammar was recognizing as built-in commands, and that includes 2 and 3 letter words. Perhaps they could be removed, on the other hand the fact that they appear in the list reassures the user to the fact that they are valid.

Ideally, all those words should be recognized by the grammar and colored separately. But one would need to add them to the grammar in an appropriate way.
