Make suggestions normal completions and not snippets

[ghost]

According to #35 the reason coc-tabnine can't be previewed and completed using the same key is because the suggestions are for snippets.

It would be better if they weren't snippets.

If they weren't snippets they could be less useful, you can always use <C-y> to confirm completion instead just use <tab> is bad idea IMO.

Why would they be less useful if they weren't snippets?

I would still prefer for tab to complete the suggestions.

The whole idea behind TabNine is to the to complete whole lines or as much as possible, intelligently. To remove the snippet functionality would disable this feature.

why?

When the PUM shows tabnine options, they are always things like

f(first, second)
public void Function3(
new List<Type>();

They never have empty placeholders in them, as I'd expect snippets to.

I don't understand why you both seem to feel that it's a requirement that tabnine complete to snippets.

I also don't understand this.

What benefit does marking the tabnine completions as "snippets" actually have? As far as I can tell, all it does is mean that the completion doesn't happen until you press <cr>, as well as put the cursor in a weird place afterwards.

Please can you teach us how to configure coc-tabnine to insert the entire suggestion text on tab press?

Because tabnine always provides complete suggestions, why does coc-tabnine only fill in part of the suggestion instead of all of it?
