> TabNine builds an index of your project, reading your .gitignore so that only source files are included. Heads up, it's not necessarily uncommon for JS developers to include node_modules in their git repos. If you're developing something like an Electron project or a website instead of a library, it's even sometimes advised to do so -- there's a line of thought that your static dependencies should be tracked as par…

Typing an 'r' is faster than clicking on "work" then backspacing.
That can lead to ("Work", "Worry", "Word") so you'd then have to type the 'k'. Now you could have ("Work", "Worker", "Worked") and still are missing the variant you want. It'd be nice to long press "Work" at step one, get that completed without a space being inserted, then tap 'i' to get ("Working", "Workings", "Workingmen")
When I click just after the initial letter (pipe representing caret that would be) eg "w|orking" the chances of me wanting to type "worked" are pretty slim; instead it should offer "Dorking" (a UK placename), "borking" and such; according to my frecency scores.
Similarly if I click to place the caret at "work|s" I'm probably after "words" or "worts" (beer stuff), or similar. Again "working|" and I'm probably going to change to a different suffix - works, workers, worked.
I'm amazed that gboard (Google's Android keyboard) doesn't already do that? Perhaps I missed a setting.
Any thoughts on how this performs vs deoplete? I've really enjoyed deoplete. It makes my coding quite a bit faster. However I've recently become pretty frustrated with all the gocode forks and go module interaction, so there's definitely room for improvement.

Awesome plugin Jacob. I have a question about the full version, is it per editor? Eg., I use Sublime Text most of the time, but occassionally vim, do I need to buy 2 licenses? Also are these licenses transferrable between machines (work vs home)?
It's per user/email. I just purchased and installed it on my VS Code, and two separate vim installations/instances and they all worked.
Why is the paid index limit 15MB? Why does the paid version have a limit?
I wish someone would figure out the right UX for partial autocompletion. e.g. I type "wo" and my phone suggests ("would", "work", "wonder"), there should be an easy way to say I'm trying to type "working" rather than clicking the "work" autocomplete then backspace, then "ing". I'd imaging TabNine has this problem in spades, since it does such long autocompletes. It could suggest "unsigned long long" when I've typed "…
Xcode has handled this for years. In Xcode, when autocompletion is presented, hitting Tab will complete the longest unique prefixed subword for the currently-selected tab item. If this results in only having one completion option left, then it completes the whole thing (e.g. adding method arguments and whatnot). Similarly, hitting Return will just complete the whole entry instead of the longest unique prefixed subwor…

I must say that I never found a "clever" autocomplete that really suited me, I just ended up using a rather dumb "hippie-expand" in Emacs that basically tries to complete the word under the cursor using anything it finds in the current file or, failing that, any other open file. It's very dumb but it works regardless of language (including completing plain text in emails for instance) and it's predictable. I'm pretty…
If there won't be any demand for this tool in a few years this could mean 2 things: Either people think it's not worth it (in this case, you don't lose anything by not using it) or there are better/cheaper alternatives (and you can use them)
