Unofficial TabNine client (all-language autocomplete) for the VS Code.

Difference between official TabNine extension:

  • Updated README to contain as much documentation as possible.
  • Added more VS Code settings and TabNine commands.
  • Kept only . and : trigger characters.
  • Removed restriction to show only 1 result if end of the word is . or ::.
  • Always shows correct suggestion detail for e.g. 41% or TabNine.
  • Won't preselect TabNine suggestions.
  • De-prioritized TabNine suggestions to be at the end of the list whenever it's possible.
  • Changed TabNine suggestions kind from property to text in order to avoid misunderstanding which suggestions are from TabNine.
  • Triggers suggestion list if suggestion ends with . or ::.
  • Included postfix in suggestions for e.g. instead of log( it will show log().
  • Disabled suggestions in Git input (commit message), for VS Code JSON files like settings.json, etc.
  • Starts TabNine process on VS Code startup.
  • Automatically downloads latest TabNine binary on VS Code startup.
  • Bundled extension for faster startup.
  • For a full list of changes you can take a look at the CHANGELOG.

Local vs Cloud

Local

TabNine Local uses your machine's CPU to run a deep learning model for providing completions. Your code stays on your machine.

Cloud

Enabling TabNine Cloud sends small parts of your code to our servers to provide GPU-accelerated completions. Other than for the purpose of fulfilling your query, your data isn't used, saved or logged in any way.
