Tag Autocomplete

Typing long prompt tags by hand can be tedious. Local Dream supports tag autocomplete with user-imported CSV dictionaries.

How It Works

You can import dictionaries from the app's settings:

  • one main CSV for the primary tag dictionary
  • one optional translation CSV for translated lookup

After import, Local Dream can show inline tag suggestions while you type.

If your query contains non-ASCII characters, Local Dream automatically switches to translation search.

This is useful if you type in languages such as:

  • Chinese
  • Japanese
  • other non-ASCII scripts

In that case, the translation dictionary helps map your input back to the main tag list.

Ready-To-Use Dictionaries

You can import these ready-made dictionaries, or provide your own:

Embedding Suggestions

Imported textual inversion embeddings also show up in the autocomplete popup. They are pinned to the top of the suggestion list with a dedicated badge, so you can pick them without remembering the exact filename.

The trigger word that gets inserted is still the embedding's filename without the extension — the same rule described in Prompting → Embeddings — and underscores in the filename are preserved on insert so the runtime lookup matches.

In other words: importing an embedding now gives you a typing shortcut in addition to the manual triggerword route. The embedding still has to appear in the prompt to take effect; the autocomplete only saves you the keystrokes.

Why Use It

This feature is especially useful if:

  • you type many Danbooru-style tags
  • you want fewer spelling mistakes in prompts
  • you prefer searching tags through Chinese or Japanese translations
  • typing long tag lists manually feels slow or annoying
