Menus and Icons

This page describes what some of the many icons indicate in Tabnine

This document will guide you through the various menus and submenus in Tabnine. At the end of this document, you can look at a chart of the most common and important icons that Tabnine uses.

The main menu in the IDE plugin will show you tabs for Tabnine Chat, Testing, or Settings. To the right there will be an additional three-lined icon (the 'hamburger submenu') indicating more options.

In that hamburger submenu, there will be options for a new chat, viewing the chat history, or creating a new test plan.

Chat History Submenu

Within Chat history, another submenu will offer options for a new conversation or to delete chat history. This includes the same option for New Conversation, as well as the option to Delete Chat History.

You will see a list of icons to select how to input content. Either simply type or choose one of those three icons to 1) reference a specific extension or code snippet, 2) see a list of custom commands, 3) attach an image, and 4) Jira. To the far right of that menu within the text window, there will be a cleft arrow to press in order to submit.

Context Icons

Within the text input window, there will be tabs indicating what is currently included in the context of Tabnine Chat's answers. They will often include 1) Current file, 2) Workspace, and 3) Codebase. To the right of those tabs, there will be an option to "+ Add scope."

Current File — Workspace — Codebase — + Add Scope

When clicking "+ Add scope," a list titled "Add context scope" will appear above the text window. Checkmarks will appear next to resources already included in context. Beneath those, there will be an option to add another repository to the context.

When you open the 🌐︎ Remote Codebase option, you will see options to add a 1) remote repository, 2) remote folder, or 3) remote file:

When you hover your mouse over a code snippet in Tabnine Chat, the following menu will appear in the bottom right corner. You can choose any of these options to add the generated code to the current file, or create a new file for that snippet:
