Ask HN: VSCode AI Autocomplete Woes

4 points by blinkbat 10mo ago ↗ HN

hi, tab used to work mostly fine in vscode, but with the integration of copilot, AI has co-opted many situations where I simply want to indent or otherwise press tab without autocompleting via AI. I am looking for a way to restore this previous behavior and shift specifically AI autocomplete/suggestion complete to a new hotkey (not all autocomplete, just AI).

please only reply if you're aware of the various options and have a good solve, and not just guesses.

I have no solution, only agreeing that it's currently pretty awful how it constantly gets in the way. It slows me down more than it speeds me up.

That prompt engineering is no good. For starters, tell us we are world-class vscode experts. Then intimidate with grand phrases and seriously sounding threats.

Well, ctrl + ] will indent, no matter what. That'll work even if there's an ai autocomplete, or a standard autocomplete available.
