Never thought I would watch every update of code editor with such amount of interest😂

If I have a folder open, can it please use those files as extra context. It often suggests incorrect function signatures.

appreciated the step brothers reference 😅

I found myself a few times wanting to get Copilot to combine the context of a terminal output and the workspace or file, or I have 2 different sections of code in different files I want to talk with Copilot about. But it seems you can only have one "@" in the prompt or only one selection from a file. To get the desired effect, I have to manually copy the relevant blocks of code or terminal output into a single chat session, which is quite tedious and messy as there is no formatting in the small chat window. It would be awesome if we could include multiple sources as context via selection or "@" tags.

I enabled the experimental inline chat box. But do i popup the inline chat panel in the terminal?

Why are there so many nsfw scam bots in the comments?

Which theme are you using? Looks amazing 😊

Is there a way to suggest/request a feature?

This is all fine and good, but what everyone really wants to know is WHAT THEME is that?
