How can I make GitHub Copilot less annoying?
Asked by

I've been using GitHub Copilot and while it does help occasionally, I often find myself dismissing its suggestions more than I want to. It can be quite intrusive, especially when I pause for a moment and a big block of unwanted code pops up. I'm looking for ways to configure it to be less intrusive. Has anyone found settings or methods to make it easier to work with?

I usually ignore the autocompletion and just use the chat feature. It helps me brainstorm without being bombarded with unwanted suggestions.

There's a copilot icon in the bottom right status bar. You can disable suggestions and code completions from there. After that, nothing will pop up unless you want it to!

You can actually use keyboard shortcuts to control when Copilot shows suggestions. This way, you can trigger it only when you need it.

If it's getting too annoying, you might just want to turn Copilot off completely. That’s what I ended up doing!
