I am so confused. Is there a tutorial explaining how you are using in the IDE whatever it is. I use vscode curious if it can be applied. Thanks

  It works very well with VSCode. It has an integration. It shows differently than normal autocomplete, it shows just like gmail autocomplete (grayed out text sugggestion, and press tab to actually autocomplete). Sometimes the suggestion is just a couple tokens long, sometimes it’s an entire page of correct code. Nice trick: write a comment describing quickly what your code will do (“// order an item on click”) and enjoy the complete suggested implementation ! Other nice trick: write the code yourself, and then just before your code, start a comment saying “// this code” and let copilot finishe the sentence with a judgement about your code like “// this code does not work in case x is negative”. Pretty fun !

    Interesting second use case; I use comments like this already as typical practice and I agree Copilot fills in the gaps quite well - never thought to do it in reverse... will give that a shot today.

      I also like to do synthesis from example code (@example doccomment) and synthesis from tests.
