I have the same experience in VSCode, where it will suggest a certain style for a CSS line and it's not what I want to use. The only way I've been able to work around this is by disabling copilot entirely which is also not what I want to do. I'd like to be able to dismiss it's help and get the regular intellisense suggestions back. |

im in the same boat. I just diabled copilot which I dont want to do but I need the intellisense. |

Same here, Copilot in VSCode completely breaks intellisense suggestions, which due to typescript integration (in my case at least) are both powerful and borderline necessary. At this point Copilot is just actively making the dev experience worse because I need typed object property/method descriptions a lot more often than I need the (sometimes very good!) AI auto-completes. |

Yeah, it fights a lot with Intellisense. And CSS intellisense is really powerfull. Idk how I would address that but we need an improve definitely. Anyway, thanks for the little friend, it usually works well with easy things. |

Yeah it's a pain when this big leap forward isn't as good as the tools that already exist. copilot should have intellisense built into it, you'd imagine. Sometimes it's code suggestions are plain stupid. This problem has made me abandon using it, intellisense is more helpful than copilot so if I have to choose one, it's the standard intellisense. |

+1 for not overriding all the intellisense that is already there (from other extensions ). Copilot now basically disables any coding tools and makes you rely just on copilot , and it's far from usable enough to be used like that . |

perhaps this should be a separate post, but i also notice that copilot will sometimes recommend "almost" correct code, but it messes up the capitalization, so the code isn't correct. intellisense gives me the correct code with correct capitalization, but copilot overwrites it. so i think in many cases, where i see copilot fighting, it's really over capitalization. and it fights not just on my customized classes and methods, but standard microsoft ones too. like intellisense would suggest |

Adding interest to this. Now that Copilot costs money I've decided to just use Intellisense since the lack of this feature already had me on the fence. There should be a way of prioritizing what shows. E.G: Prioritize Copilot, and press a hotkey to bring up standard Intellisense when you don't like the suggestion, or prioritize Intellisense, and press a hotkey to bring up Copilot. I don't know the inner workings of Copilot, but if there's a confidence value then that could also be used to determine whether to bring up Intellisense/Copilot. Whatever the option, as it stands right now it's completely broken. |

yeah, when I got the notification 'Copilot is not setup yet' I was confused. Then I saw the 'start your trial' and the lightbulb went off in my head 'oh, is the experimental phase over? But they didn't fix intellisense yet? Nope, will not be using it then' and didn't look back. The demo's seem cool, but in day to day coding live it hasn't helped me once and was annoying enough to finally turn off... so something's not quite there yet. Just fixing the 'annoying' part, means it's OK to leave on. And then that day might come when it suddenly suggests something that makes me go 'oh wow'. But since it's now in the annoying-category, you turn it off, and you never learn what it might do for you. Feels stupid that people with IntelliJ IDE's get a better product compared to 'their own' editor in VSCode. |

Sadly copilot is not useful as it is right now as it keeps killing the IntelliSense suggestions and then just inserting a new row when I press return instead of the IntelliSense thing. |

I'm not sure why, but copilot in VS 2022 seems to interfere less with intellisense... seems like if you dismiss copilot suggestion in VS then you get to use intellisense. I just started using copilot with VSCode and it's unusable... intellisense must be accessible! So, disabling copilot for VSCode until this is fixed. |

Unless you can prove a workaround for all the Visual Studio folks, don't post claims that it interferes less. I agree IntelliSense must be accessible, as everyone here agrees. Please, post a video demonstrating that Visual Studio provides C++ inline suggestions when Copilot is dismissed, and then do that with every other language. Back up your claim. |

I rarely had problems with IntelliSense until I started using Copilot. I can occasionally see, for example, the dropdown for IntelliSense be shown at the same time as the Copilot suggestion. After a couple hours of coding, IntelliSense breaks and I only get the Copilot suggestions. Sometimes deleting the .vs folder fixes it, sometimes it doesn't. I didn't have these problems before. |

No need to go on the offensive. It's another '+1' post, nothing more, nothing less. That being said, having to dismiss copilot to access the intellisense that I'm expecting seems like a slowdown as well. |

Look at the posts. IntelliSense is in both products and the interference with IntelliSense is the subject of this issue whether or not the interface, behavior or functionality is dissimilar, so consider the topic expanded: the behavior described is what Visual Studio does also and it needs to be fixed. No offense intended. I'm sure we'll see a fix in an update if the Copilot team will address it. |

Hmm... how is that? AFAIK, there are other extensions that manage to add Intellisense suggestions without clearing / overruling the normal list. If it's a VSCode limitation that only a single extension can provide Intellisense - and yes that means I'm wrong 😉 - then I see where the problem is coming from, and you could see that as a VSCode limitation. |

What I meant by that was that you cant have inline and Intelisense at the same time. Just one or the other. |

After more research, VSCode has built-in support for exactly this. Inline completions with IntelliSense at the same time. For the time being. Ctrl + Space brings up IntelliSense when required. |

It's still one inline completion, and then multiple Intellisense options. Copilot also has more options (and the first is often not that useful), so in what you are saying it could only list one (the inline one), and then also multiline-suggestions can't be properly displayed? In my last experience, Copilot in VSCode is (was?) unusable because of this. It's just not up to par (or too slow) to replace the regular intellisense, but it does completely hide it. |

Now that I think about it, it might work better (for me at least) so leave all the intellisense / auto-suggestion alone, and add a shortcut key to open the Copilot suggestion list. It could then even list the inline suggestion while I type. At the moment, my typing is 'halted' and slowed down because the suggestion list doesn't pop-up when I expect it to (simple things, like completing function names, imports and accessing object properties/members). This makes my coding super slow instead of speeding it up, and the major reason for not using copilot anymore. It has during testing maybe once., or maybe twice gave a suggestion where I thought 'yes, that is in line of what I want, I'll edit that, thank you'. Most of the time it's way off. And if it then hides the default suggestions you're used to using, it's a disaster. So, let it give an inline suggestion and open up more copilot suggestions on a special key press. That way it doesn't interfere with the normal behavior, and it can actually add to the experience instead of subtracting things and then trying to replace them. Pressing ctrl+space to open the suggestion list is not an option.

Its interesting to think how it could all be integrated. Even better and more separated I think would be to have Copilot show via Inline, and IntelliSense via its normal box at the same time, without interference. Then one could use a different keystroke (tab vs enter maybe) to accept whether Copilots Inline Suggestion or the Regular IntelliSense suggestion. When It comes to MultiLine Copilot suggestions, maybe that could be restricted to when InteliSense has no suggestions (at the end of a function bracket like this: function DoThing(var1: boolean) { |<-Cursor Here ). Because thats when Multiline suggestions usually work best. And failing that, even just restrict it to Ctrl + Enter. There are a few different ways of doing it. Either would work, because as is, Copilot is completely broken and interferes with every programmer's flow more than it helps. On a personal note, I have installed the "Settings Cycler" extension and cycle the Copilot Inline suggestions on or off with Alt + \. |

Same as all the above. I really want to see what copilot suggests in it's own window and have a hotkey to apply it WITHOUT clobbering intellisense. Until it has that functionality I have to disable it and will not be buying it. |

I believe if you had a configurable "wait this many milliseconds of no-input before making an inline suggestion" that would ALSO solve the issue, and quite quickly. Since you already have a hardcoded value for the "wait for pauses in typing before showing suggestions" this SHOULD be an easy add by making that a userconfig variable.

I think it would nice if the copilot suggestions appeared below the line I am typing and the regular autocomplete appeared on the same line. Then give me a key to accept either depending I which I need. |

I'm having the same issue. I have a tabout extension which takes me out of a closing brace/parenthesis by pressing tab , copilot just ruins this for me as well. Maybe like leave inline commit/intellisense alone and then have copilots suggestions as a different shade/color so you can distinguish which is which and choose from either option. The reason I suggest separating out copilot from inline suggestions is because ultimately it's an aid were not using it to write every single line of code so just why the replacement/integration with an already good/working tool (intellisence) |

I believe I'm going to need to disable and cancel my trial based on working in VSCode with C# and TypeScript. Sometimes the scaffolding suggestions are great but I find the single line ghost text to be wrong 75%+ of the time. It's maddening having to fight with it for autocomplete; hitting I realize people work differently but it's.. Interesting that they seem to be doubling down that they've got the correct behavior based on data from their user trials haha. Sampling bias? |

Well, I don't get copilot anymore in the intellisense popup it seems. I
only get an online suggestion. Which needs some getting used to.
So at least intellisense isn't broken anymore , And copilot can stay
enabled.
I'm still used to using it on demand in the copilot chat window and not
inline in the editor. But I'll leave it on to see if it comes up with some
things.
(I've only seen very wrong inline suggests at the moment :)).

The original problem was that CoPilot inserted itself in the Intellisense popup, and thereby removes any other Intellisense providers that you were used to. You only got Copilot things in Intellisense. What now seems to have happened, is that there are no Copilot suggestions at all anymore in Intellisense. I only get the Copilot 'inline suggestion', that grey text you get inside your editor. This is nice, because it doesn't removes the other simpler Intellisense that you still want. I guess I was hoping that Copilot suggestions would popup in Intellisense, sorted at the bottom. That if you take the time to stop and look at it you can choose it, but if not you can just continue with Intellisense and code like you normally have. So, I'm happy Copilot isn't messing up the existing Intellisense anymore (it's been over a year!) but it has made Copilot less capable it seems :(. |

wooo wait a second, you got copilot suggestions in intellisense in the past?!! I have been using it since day one of beta and I have always only gotten the inline suggestion! My issue was that the inline suggestion would override what you were trying to do in intellisense so if you hit tab for intellisense item it would override it and just give you the copilot inline suggestion. That is what I thought this entire issue/bug was about here... and that has now been fixed it appears. BUT I want copilot suggestions in my intellisense haha! How can we get that? I never knew that was even a feature. |

ok @isidorn thank you for clarifying! haha. So then is the rest of my description accurate on what the assumed problem was in the past? and what has recently been improved? Essentially where the suggestions no longer override intellisense and will only be applied if you close out of intellisense? |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.

Ha, lol. Sorry. but the issue is called "breaking Intellisense", because
Copilot broke the regular Intellisense, because it injected stuff there and
removed what was there without Copilot .
So no, I'm not incorrect. Maybe that has been fixed way earlier (I have
Copilot disabled since then because there was no official response that
this was going to be fixed). There was even discussion about the fact that
the IntelliJ plugin opened _two_ suggestion boxes. The regular
Intellisense, and the Copilot next to it (and why that wasn't possible with
vscode).
And maybe the discussion in this topic that is quickly becoming _two_ years
old has drifted to other problems, but the original problem was exactly
that: Regular Intellisense was _replaced_ with Copilot Intellisense, and
that killed the workflow for a lot of people.
In the current implementation, I see that Copilot only gives an inline
suggestion, which is better. The inline suggestion is selected with tab,
Intellisense is (and always has been!?) selected with 'Enter' so this seems
fine. I just miss the other suggestions Copilot used to give.
You can still open them with ctrl+enter ('open completions panel' command)
but short one-lliners were in the Intellisense before (I'm talking about
the first pre-release invite-only period).
You could also write a comment with an instruction, like '// write a method
that fetches all objects of type ' and it would give an inline multi-line
suggestion of that. Now it just wants to write a single line, and often
it's just completing the comment instead of generating the method.
You _can_ now open the Copilot Chat function, to type '/generate a method
that fetches all objects of type' and that will actually be way more
correct most of the time. But before it used to do this in the inline
suggests. Maybe that's still possible with settings in the
github.copilot.advanced section, I don't know.

Hello,
I'd love to keep using Copilot, as the suggestions are a great typing help for otherwise mundane typing tasks.
However, if it suggests something that is not correct - and that still happens extremely often (not a problem - it cannot read my mind I think) it's fairly annoying to discard the inline suggestion in VScode and have the Intellisense box pop-up like usual.
Using
Ctrl+.does not bring it up either, it effectively blocks Intellisense from showing up at this point.This is annoying enough to stop using Copilot entirely.
