My biggest issue with Copilot is that it only wants to add code.
That's useful but I edit code a lot. And if I have 10 similar lines and made one edit, it'd be very convenient for Copilot to suggest edit following line or even lines.
- ftufek 4y agoYou can look into Copilot Labs extension in vscode, it does the editing and bunch of other stuff too (like explain what the highlighted code does, etc). It's not as smooth, but it's getting there.
- varunkmohan 4y agoCurious, what functionality did you find the most useful? Sometimes on edits, I find it adding more than expected (potentially entirely new files) which causes me to not accept the suggestion. Explain does work well sometimes though!
- TillE 4y agoThat's interesting, even IntelliCode (generally less capable than Copilot afaik) will do exactly that. I've had it trigger a few times in C# recently, where I make one or two similar edits, and it prompts me to make more.
