Description

Currently autocomplete will suggest macros defined in or from packages used \input-ed and \include-ed files unless they are in TeX root directories (i.e. specified by neither an absolute or relative path). Adding support for TeX roots is a natural improvement.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the current autocomplete implementation for \input and \include commands, identify where TeX root directories are specified, and extend the logic to include files from those directories. Review the code that handles file inclusion and the autocomplete data structure.
