Copilot is great; I just need it not to speak all the time

Most of the time Copilot is just reading my mind and i only need to press TAB a couple of times.

BUT there are other times where it is like
"ok buddy, no, please stop"

For some weeks i decided to tried the following, instead of auto generating options I ask for it on demand.

And this is working great.

In VsCode, press CMD , (to open preferences) and add this one:

"github.copilot.editor.enableAutoCompletions": false,
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

this will stop copilot to auto speak all the time,

now, next step: set a keyboard short cut in order to "ask for copilot on demand"

CMD K + CMD S (to open keyboard shortcuts)

look for Trigger Inline Suggestion

I, personally use CTR + ENTER


This configuration is workgin great for me!

Thanks for reading.

You know what? I think I'm going to steal this setup 😋 it really looks fire 🔥 specially because you remove the hassle of accepting suggestions by mistake and the difficulty of reading where your code ends and the suggestions begins while the lines jump up and down which, on its own, takes some great daily mental effort
