lolinder·Jun 22, 2022

In intellij (which is where I use it), section 8 of this document explains how. I'm assuming there's an equivalent for vscode. When you disable auto complete, it can still be fired via a keyboard shortcut, which is how I use it. https://github.com/github/copilot-docs/blob/main/docs/jetbra...

In GitHub Copilot is generally available

So it looks like for neovim there is not yet the option to cycle through suggestions? Looks like for VSCode the shortcut on Linux is Alt-], see: https://github.com/github/copilot-docs/blob/main/docs/visual... But for neovim, it doesn't mention anything about it in the docs: https://github.com/github/copilot.vim/blob/release/doc/copil... And, nothing happens when pressing Alt-].

In GitHub Copilot available for JetBrains and Neovim

So the article mentions an issue reported by dtjm annd the maintainer answers the issue explainig that the keys are fictional. I don't see any statement by the github CEO about this being an issue as the article says. If you have access, link to the maintainers answer: https://github.com/github/copilot-preview/discussions/45#dis... The answer references the FAQ which is what I referred to: http://copilot.github.com/#faq-does-github-copilot-ever-outp...
