> The tab completion is very annoying when you’re trying to type.

I think it is annoying if it completes it by itself, but tab completion can be helpful if you have to push the tab key (or whatever other key is mapped to autocompletion) to make the completion to work (although I don't need LLM to do tab completion).



Do you not use the tab key to indent code?


I don't indent with tabs, but I also don't usually use autocompletion in the text editor. I usually use tab completion in the command shell.


In most code editors, hitting tab increases the indent even if you are using spaces (e.g. it will add two or four spaces). But now you don’t know if it will increase indent or arbitrarily rewrite your code.


Yes, which is why you could use a different key or key combination for auto complete.
