Autocompletion for compiler command line options

[rath3t]

For compilations with pdfLaTeX there is a checkbox

I use Latexmk for my build which is intelligent enough to invoke everything needed. But for large project with "makeindex and several other pdflatex,bibtex,.. " invokations it takes some time.

For fast feedback I use now

i.e. the max_repeat compiler argument.
Maybe there should also be some checkbox as in the case of pdfLaTeX to have it more symmetric?

Is your suggestion to provide somehow the list of latexmk command line options in the run configuration UI? I mean, we do provide some UI elements for the most common options, but we must draw a line somewhere, since we cannot do that with all options.

Yes I also think it is not a good idea to expose lots of latexmk command line options.
I'm also happy with my setup. But I stumbled upon the decision of having such a flag for pdflatex and not for latexmk.

The reason the checkbox is there for pdflatex is because pdflatex has no such command line option (to compile twice), so it is TeXiFy-specific.

What we maybe could do, is provide some sort of autocompletion for command line options, similar to what IntelliJ does for gradle parameters:

This is a relatively new IntelliJ feature, I will quickly check if it is possible for us to reuse.

This would also be very cool! Thanks.
