Tab in Visual Assist is used for accepting suggestion; Tab is also used in Copilot to accept Suggestion;
How do I change this hotkey for either Visual Assist OR copilot?
Scavenged the internet, couldn't find anything |

Which programming language are you working in?
Are you talking about something that happens with the GitHub Copilot Chat extension installed and active, or something built into Visual Studio? |

I think what he means is that the tab key is used by both the IntelliCode autocomplition and the GitHub Copilot extension. (So it is not directly related to Visual Assist.) Anyway, the solution from this Github forum might help:
Tools > Options > IntelliCode > Advanced > Accept code suggestion on right arrow

using c++ with unreal engine
Using Github Copilot Completions Extension (External VS extension, not in-built)
as you can see in this image: https://imgur.com/a/bgEZXbJ
Visual Assist says "VA Snippet, Accept with <TAB> or <ENTER>"
and Copilot says, "Tab to Accept"
so, both are kind of competing for tab command,
couldn't figure out how to change tab command for either copilot or VA
p.s: image: https://imgur.com/a/bgEZXbJ

Since I don't have a Github Copilot account, I cannot simply test this directly here, but has anyone tried setting:
VA Options -> Enhanced Listboxes -> Commit selection with - Tab = OFF
VA Options -> Enhanced Listboxes -> Commit selection with - Enter = ON
also does the setting FAN posted help?

Hey, I have the same issue and non of the settings fix this.
As you can see in the following image, VA accepts via TAB and overrides the autocompletion:
BUT my settings are (TAB is disabled):
We use the latest VA and VS versions.

We are working on getting CoPilot and VA listboxes to work better together:
case=165219
For now, some people have reported success with the settings:
Tools > Options > IntelliCode > Advanced > Accept code suggestion on right arrow
VA Options -> Enhanced Listboxes -> Commit selection with - Tab = OFF
VA Options -> Enhanced Listboxes -> Commit selection with - Enter = ON
But I am not sure why you are being prompted to accept a VA listbox with Tab when you have the Tab setting turned Off.
Are you working in C++ or C#? I do recall one user reporting problems with CoPilot and C#. |

Tools > Options > IntelliCode > Advanced > Accept code suggestion on right arrow
This is no option for us. We want TAB to accept the suggestion
Are you working in C++ or C#?
Both. But the issue in the screenshots is from C# |

Both VA and IDE settings can come into play here. As a first step, can you please try turning Off
VA Options -> Suggestions -> Suggestion and Completion lists - Enable in C#
does this help at all? We have had one user report making this change, and that it helped them when dealing with CoPilot in C#, so I am wondering if the same change will work for you and help you as well. |
