💻 Copilot: An interesting keyboard shortcut...

[jacob-leger]

The problem, if it is a problem.

When I first installed the extension in the VSCode IDE, I noticed that
one of my most used, if not the most used keyboard shortcut was
used by Copilot.
That is the Copilot Extension's opening shortcut: "Ctrl+Enter".

"Ctrl+Enter" is very useful, it creates a new line, wherever you are
in the line of text, you are in.
Before I used to know this shortcut,
I used to click the end of the current line I was on, and then
press enter.
This is very inefficient, you should minimize the use of the mouse while coding. I know this might seem picky, but I think there might be
a better solution.

The solution, but it's up to you.

I know that you can change keyboard shortcuts in VSCode, but I think
that it could be changed to something like "Ctrl+Alt+C", or anything
the developers think is fit.

Most devs use VSCode, so I think the Copilot Engineers can come up with
something, maybe even an unused shortcut if they want.

Here are some polls deciding the most used IDE:

I would like to give an alternative to using the mouse to go to the end of the line and then press ENTER, instead you can press END to go to the end of the line and then press ENTER.

Edit: For similar shortcuts like this,

• you can press HOME to go to the start of the line
• VS Code shortcuts pdf for windows
• VS Code shortcuts for linux
• VS Code shortcuts for macOS

Thank you, this will help a lot.

Do you know any other shortcuts like this?

[sanskaromar]

Yep, I have updated them in my original answer.

I also find that the copilot "tab" shortcut is a bit annoying since it stops me from indenting my code. How about command + tab 🤔

[jacob-leger]

I agree!
