> I haven't used copilot, but from seeing devs on Youtube who have it enabled, I'm not sure it is the answer. The visual distraction from seeing possible but often slightly wrong solutions appear and then change seems like trading one chore for another.
This feels reminiscent of my experience with most search systems, whether its the start menu in windows or google search:
-Type the first two or three letters of what I want
What I want appears first in the list
-"Oh good", I think as my brain processes that but I still type the next letter as I was already in the process of doing so
-Search results change thanks to that letter at the same moment I hit enter
-Annoyance
-Fin
- michaelteter 4y ago> Search results change thanks to that letter at the same moment I hit enter This happens so often, everywhere - browsers, spotlight, mobile keyboards, etc. When Spotlight is behaving itself, it tends to work really well. But it has bugs (or inconsistent wrong behaviors) that cause it to sometimes suggest web searches instead of the app I was trying to launch. And there seems to be no way to actually, completely disable web search from Spotlight. What does work really well is the JetBrains IDE open-anything search. Not only does it do a good job with normal typing, but if you remember to just type some of the letters of the thing you want to open, in sequence, it amazingly chooses the right one.
