Maybe I wasn't very clear. All LaTeX macros are preceded by a `\`. However, not
everything is a macro. Consider, for example, the following LaTeX code:
```latex
\newcommand{\macroname}{some \LaTeX code}
We defined a new macro called \textbackslash\texttt{macroname} which expands to
\macroname.
```
it is undesirable to receive autocomplete suggestions when writing the words
`macro` or `macroname`, since they are not macros. However, when writing
`\macroname` I would expect to have autocomplete available, since the symbol is
known. The current behaviour does exactly the opposite. Furthermore, current
word separation understands `\textbackslash\texttt` as a single word, and
autocomplete for `\texttt` is then no longer possible (even if it were a known
symbol).
Since the autocomplete feature for symbols is implemented in geany, and there
is already language-specific code for LaTeX and other languages, isn't this a
geany issue?
