Hey there I will send you but I already send an email to to community@tabnine or something like that asking for you 😊 but I didn’t get replay.

Anyway I will post all the issues here as well since I am not sure the email wont get lost or something.

And let me show you the issue.

I am in some random class and this was not an issue with codata btw so I am in a random class and I invoke autocomplete

You see the first two recommendations right ?

All good or it seems to but THERE IS NO PAYMENT RESPONSE in this context

So basically TABNINE is SUGGESTING a NON EXISTANT stuff.

With Codata it was not like that.. it was SUGGESTING fields and local variables or methods *but only VISIBLE ones * and this is SUPER annoying that TABNINE suggests a NON existing staff,

Sometimes I have something called β€œres” but Tabnine is suggesting me first β€œresponse” which doesn’t exist, so basically Tabnine is productivity killer and there is no OPTIONS for the plugin so I cannot configure anything, there is no option "do not suggest non existant stuff" =.

I have send you a lot longer email with more examples however basically this is super NOT useful :+) and not WHAT it is suppose to do :) what it does is - it takes me more time to find what is there and what isnt, in short it REMOVES the FEATURES of the IDE and replaces them with a super crappy autocomlete... so basically it makes my productivity LOWER and not HIGHER : )

I think this is very buggy and should be tested since it fails in even the most basic examples, maybe it is nice for PR and DEMO since it has features that are great, but even the basic stuff is not working.
