I used the wrong term, but I guess y’all were unable to infer meaning from usage?
Auto tab or w/e it’s called (Some products literally call it tab completion). Visual Studio was doing it around 2018 IIRC, it was ML based, always has been. Modern versions of it are almost entirely LLM based.

No, it’s not that we were “unable to infer meaning” (gaslight much?), you’re just wrong.
Firstly, tab completion has been around for effectively ever, and way predates whatever VS Code may have been doing. Ctags indexing, for example, has been around since 1992.
Secondly, even if you want to move the goal post by talking about some specific implementation of ML based indexing, ML is not LLM.

Like I said plenty of products call this tab completion, and it’s context aware completion, or predictive completion. I use the wrong term but I would have thought after my explanation you would have understood what I meant by this point. You’re continued explanation of what to have a completion is shows otherwise.
I know what to have completion is. I’ve been programming for the last 15 years.
Also I said Visual Studio, not VS Code… Cripes.
