Did I miss any features? Let me know below :)

[serhiikrechko]

Thank you for the video. It's great to use the @workspace feature.

[timnilson]

Very good video. I was wondering about the @workspace stuff. Thank you!

[soldadopreciso]

Thanks you, very useful video tutorial, go ahead pal.

When fixing is there a feature to add relevant stack overflow or Google search results as context?

[Jonathan-rmkt]

Any tips on how to tell copilot to chill out on function arg completion? It hallucinates nearly half of the arg completions- intellisense is much more useful unless there's a way to tune this.

Hi,

how do I let it index multiple files (like for a website project),
and ask it to do modfications in them?!

...like, add multiple sign up options (gmail/fb account).


Thanks for the insight.

In Github Copilot Chat, how do I remove the error "No parent node found" message when the /fix command fails?

[andrababunaidu]

I liked the unit test cases creation feature using /test command

[devkumar]

Man, I didn't knew it supports native lang and its easy to query in native lang

[tusharmehtadxb]

Short and sweet explanation ❤
Does it support writing code for codeigniter 4 ?

[lozD]

Fun fact: it's just called a hash. "Hash tag" is a social media concept of tagging posts using a tag, not the name of the symbol

[ArthurSimon-ijsk]

Cmd+Shift+I on my Mac doesn't work for some reason

[animationnation]

Isn't there a feature where in the commandline you can run something like "/ create flask app" and it creates all the required files?

[archiep]

wish there was one like this for Visual Studio!

[wholesalelogic]

How are you getting that star icon in terminal, I cant see it anywhere, do I need to enable something?

[zulupox]

Very informative, exactly what I needed!

The @workspace does not seem to work with the project I'm working in. Maybe it is too large? Over 1.2 million LOC lua

[doullagado]

Could I disable the copilot autosuggestion and call it at some point with a keyboard shortcut when I need it??

[skalaiselvan]

we can write test cases and add documentation

[randy]

Can the chat window be an isolated window? like has been added lately to vsc?
