it seems will quit edit mode and turn to visual mode with vsocde vim in some cases Originally posted by @xuzhanhh in https://github.com/codota/TabNine/issues/432#issuecomment-904526849

same for me, but almost all time Originally posted by @lastgosumatt in https://github.com/codota/TabNine/issues/432#issuecomment-906199227

Yes, almost all the time here too. Originally posted by @Mattiaslndstrm in https://github.com/codota/TabNine/issues/432#issuecomment-906377070

What I personally noticed is that the inline completetions aren't really compatible with the vscode vim plugin (vscodevim.vim). When using a suggested completion by pressing tab, the vim plugin will go into visual mode, the vim cursor stays at the last typed character but a "normal", thin cursor will appear at the end of the completed code. This is quite an annoyance as you can't keep typing but instead need to spam esc to get back into normal mode and then move your cursor to the end again and go into insert mode before you can start typing again.

Hi! We received a few complaints regarding this error, and it is being fixed now by our developers. Once a fix is released, we will update at https://github.com/codota/TabNine/issues/432

This is a temporary workaround: https://github.com/codota/TabNine/issues/432#issuecomment-1064936875

Make sure to install the multi-command extension

Hey @matthew-plusprogramming, We just released a fix for this issue with version 3.5.49. We'd appreciate it if you could try it out and let us know what you think.

On an unrelated issue, my tabnine is constantly glitching out vscode which is making it unusable. Whenever I start typing, the cursor starts jumping around and deleting random text. This occurs with or without the vim extension enabled

TabNine closes the autosuggestion widget by triggering the escape key, so it also goes out of Vim's insert mode. Add this to your keybindings.json to disable it:

{
        "key": "tab",
        "command": "-tabnine.tab-override",
        "when": "suggestWidgetHasFocusedSuggestion && suggestWidgetVisible && tabnine.tab-override && textInputFocus"
},

Any update on this issue?

I was having the same problem and I tried the solution #432 (comment) but with no results. So I modified it to the following and added them to keybinding.json, which worked for me.

{
    "key": "tab",
    "command": "extension.multiCommand.execute",
    "args": {
      "sequence": [
        "toggleVim",
        "tabnine.tab-override",
        "toggleVim",
        "extension.vim_insert",
      ],
      "interval": 50, 
    },
    "when": "vim.active && suggestWidgetHasFocusedSuggestion && suggestWidgetVisible && tabnine.tab-override && textInputFocus"
},
{
    "key": "tab",
    "command": "-tabnine.tab-override",
    "when": "vim.active && suggestWidgetHasFocusedSuggestion && suggestWidgetVisible && tabnine.tab-override && textInputFocus"
},

Note that the multi-command extension is required.

Hope it helps!
