I am a heavy user of the completion key (escape) in LaTeX. At present, when I press the escape key when I am inside a \ref{} command, it offers me the first completion that it finds in the list that it generates when I press the alt+escape key inside a \ref{} command. That list is alphabetical (so far as I can see). It would be more useful (for me) if instead it offered as its first choice the contents of the most recent \label{} command, and then offered them in reverse order. (That is, if it behaved like it does when it is not within a \ref{} command.) Indeed, it would be more useful (I think) if the alt+esc key produced its offerings in reverse chronological order when pressed within \ref{}.
Is it possible to manipulate the order in which escape offers up its completions?
Many thanks, Kyle

The command uses its own scanner to scan through the document and included files and the code is already fairly complex. It is theoretically possible to do what you want, and anyone is welcome to try it out. It's certainly not an easy fix, as far as I can see.

Okay: thanks. I'll put together a work-around.
