First of, I want to clarify that I do enjoy GitHub Copilot — and I also think that this kinds of AI applications are the most effective to date. That’s why I still use it on my work laptop, for example: I’m just annoyed by its looming presence (until I exceed the free tier limits).
My company offers its employees a Pro subscription, which I don’t have access to yet, but that’s definitely not a problem. I’m not concerning about GitHub Copilot inline suggestions at all: I only found the fastest way to get rid of them, when unnecessary. Disabling it.
Yes, I can customize their behavior, but I can’t find a dedicated shortcut to easily decline them. It’s not a matter of selecting the file extensions to include and/or exclude from the list, since I use JavaScript most of the time; I’d like to have an equivalent of the [Tab] key that does its opposite.
Because there’s a way to decline inline suggestions already, although I don’t find it convenient. I succeed by pressing an arrow key, for example — but I can’t always understand which arrow to press in advance. Sometimes it works with the space bar as well: it’s anyway a loss of time.
Of course, keeping inline suggestions enabled when I’m 100% sure I don’t need them would be stupid, since it consumes requests for nothing. What about when I’m in doubt? Why can’t I always press the same key (or keyboard shortcut, at least) to decline them? It could be an interesting feature request.
