Prespecified dictionary of tokens for particular languages about tabnine HOT 5 CLOSED

Thank you for that feedback.

I'm re-opening and marking as enhancement.
Will evaluate it with out other priorities.

Was this closed as fixed or wontfix? I just updated TabNine and see the same behavior that I initially reported to Jacob back in January 2019 (i.e. no change)...

In addition to TabNine, I would like to add a dictionary of keyword completions like so: https://github.com/RhysU/dotfiles/blob/master/.vim/after/ftplugin/scheme.vim. The use case is looking up APIs that I know exist prior to their first usage within a given project. I do see these completions appear within vim but not as I'd expect. Concretely and referring to attached images s{1,2,3,4}.png:

s1.png) Within a scheme file I type '(st' and I see string/sqrt/substring/list. Typing Control-N cycles through these 4 choices.
s2.png) I continue typing 'ring' and see both string/substring. Typing Control-N cycles through these 2 choices.
s3.png) I type '-' and now see no completions available.
s4.png) I type Control-N once and my dictionary becomes active.

I expected the dictionary completions to somehow be "incorporated" during steps s{1,2,3}. In those screenshots, the dictionary extension was .dict but I see the same behavior after moving to .ss per RhysU/dotfiles@5e07d23. Jacob said that having a global dictionary was not supported at the time and filed this tracking ticket.

@RhysU

Sorry for not writing more. Since this was opened by @zxqfl, I assumed this was something he filed for his own tracking - was not aware that it was due to a user request.

We closed it as a "wontfix". We have other idea as to how to support specific languages, but we do not plan to add pre-specified dictionary of tokens - at least not in the foreseeable future.

Thank you for the explanation. The root reason for this feature request wasn't to support a particular language but rather to ease working in a particular setting.

For example, here I had wanted to use a token dictionary containing everything known to Chez Scheme (https://github.com/RhysU/dotfiles/blob/master/.vim/after/ftplugin/chezscheme.ss). Other folks might, e. g., want to augment Lua with identifiers for their scripting setting.

As a workaround, @zxqfl had recommended copying that dictionary into each project.

All of which I mention just to provide more context. Thank you your work on TabNine.
