Copilot suggestion not triggered with TAB

Hello @Anonymous ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

It seems that the conflicts still exist. Here are some similar threads(for VS, for VS Code, or for other extensions) which discussed about this issue/similar issue => Tab completion conflicts [GitHub Copilot], Copilot with VS 2022 is often very disruptive by cancelling out regular intellisense, Regular IDE autocomplete and Github CoPilot must work together.

You may consider disabling IntelliSense to make the Tab "select" Copilot suggestions. I recommend submitting a ticket on Github Community for further help.

Sincerely,

Tianyu

I believe this is now fixed, but for anyone having this issue, You can switch GitHub CoPilot to complete with the right arrow key so it doesn't compete for the tab key:

Under Tools > Options > IntelliCode > Advanced tick Apply whole line completions on right arrow checkbox.

I believe this has been fixed, but if you still have the issue, you can configure GitHub CoPilot to use the right arrow for complete, so it doesn't compete for the TAB key.

In Visual Studio 2022:
Under Tools > Options > IntelliCode > Advanced, tick Apply whole line completions on right arrow checkbox.
