Body

I am following a tutorial about Github Copilot in VsCode

I came across the following screen shot.

So how do I get to that Github Copilot Suggestions window that you see on the right? Is there any keyboard shortcut for that?

I think I installed everything correctly, Ctrl + I is working, Alt + \ is working, so what am I missing? I searched on the net, but so far, I could not figure out how to get to that.

I read somewhere that Ctrl + Enter is the shortcut key for that. But for me this does not work. Even this community post on github, talks about the Ctrl + Enter shortcut.

So, just to repeat, How do I get to the code suggestions window, and what is the short cut key for it?

How to Open the GitHub Copilot Suggestions Panel in VS Code

To view multiple suggestions from GitHub Copilot in a side panel (on the right), press:

• Ctrl + Enter (Windows/Linux)
• Cmd + Enter (macOS)

If the shortcut doesn't work:

1. Open the Command Palette (Ctrl + Shift + P)
2. Search for and run: Copilot: Open Copilot Completions Panel
3. If that works, your shortcut might not be assigned

To set or fix the shortcut:

• Open Keyboard Shortcuts (Ctrl + K Ctrl + S)
• Search for Copilot: Open Copilot Completions Panel
• Click the pencil icon to assign Ctrl + Enter

Try it on a function like this:

def calculate_total(price, tax):

Then press Ctrl + Enter to see Copilot's suggestions in the panel.

Thanks. Small correction. It should be

GitHub Copilot: Open Completions Panel

If the Keyboard Shortcuts (Ctrl + K Ctrl + S) doesn't Work then:

• Go to files -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts.
