GitHub Copilot will automatically suggest a class body in grayed text. To accept the suggestion, press Tab.

You can also describe something you want to do using natural language within a comment, and Copilot will suggest the code to accomplish your goal. For example, type this comment in a Java file:

Java
// find all images without alternate text
// and give them a red border
void process () {
// find all images without alternate text
// and give them a red border
void process () {

GitHub Copilot will automatically suggest code. To accept the suggestion, press Tab.

GitHub Copilot will attempt to match the context and style of your code. You can always edit the suggested code.

Showing alternative suggestions

For any given input, GitHub Copilot may offer multiple suggestions. You can select which suggestion to use, or reject all suggestions.

For example, type the following line in a Java file, and press Enter:

Java
private int calculateDaysBetweenDates(Date date1,
private int calculateDaysBetweenDates(Date date1,

GitHub Copilot will show you a suggestion.

Now hover over the suggestion to show the GitHub Copilot control for choosing suggestions. To display next or previous suggestions, click the forward or back arrow button in the control.

You can also use keyboard shortcuts to show alternative suggestions:

OS See next suggestion See previous suggestion macOS Option+] Option+[ Windows or Linux Alt+] Alt+[

To accept a suggestion, click "Accept" in the Copilot command palette, or press Tab. To reject all suggestions, press Esc.

Showing multiple suggestions in a new tab

If you don't want to use any of the initial suggestions GitHub Copilot offers, you can show multiple suggestions in a new tab.

For example, type the following line in a Java file:

Java
private int calculateDaysBetweenDates(Date date1,
private int calculateDaysBetweenDates(Date date1,

GitHub Copilot will show you a suggestion.

To open a new tab with multiple additional suggestions, use the following keyboard shortcut, then click Open GitHub Copilot:

OS Open multiple suggestions macOS Command+Shift+A Windows or Linux Ctrl+Enter

To accept a suggestion, below the suggestion, click Accept suggestion NUMBER. To reject all suggestions, close the tab.

Accepting partial suggestions

If you don't want to accept an entire suggestion from GitHub Copilot, you can accept the next word or the next line of a suggestion.

For example, type the following line in a Java file:

Java
private int calculateDaysBetweenDates(Date date1,
private int calculateDaysBetweenDates(Date date1,

GitHub Copilot will show a suggestion in grayed text. The exact suggestion may vary.

Now hover over the suggestion to show the GitHub Copilot control for choosing suggestions. To accept only the next word of the suggestion, click Accept Word in the control.

Alternatively, you can use a keyboard shortcut to accept the next word of a suggestion:

To enable comment suggestions, you need to configure the comment style in Visual Studio.

For C++
  1. In Visual Studio, in the Tools menu, click Options.
  2. In the left-side panel, click Text Editor.
  3. Click C++, then Code Style, then General.
  4. Under "Comments," select Xml Doc Comments from the dropdown.
  5. Select Insert existing comment style at the start of new lines when writing comments and Continue single line comments.
For C#
  1. In Visual Studio, in the Tools menu, click Options.
  2. In the left-side panel, click Text Editor.
  3. Click C#, then Advanced.
  4. Under "Comments," select Generate XML documentation comments for ///, Insert // at the start of new lines when writing // comments, and Insert * at the start of new lines when writing /* */ comments.
Using comment suggestions

To initiate comment suggestions, type the standard comment initiator for the language you are writing in (for example, ///), before the code you want to comment, and wait for the suggestion to appear.

To accept the suggestion, press Tab. To modify the suggestion, press Alt+/. To reject the suggestion, press Esc.

Navigating and accepting next edit suggestions

Based on the edits you are making, Copilot will predict the location of the next edit you are likely to make and suggest a completion for it.

You can navigate suggested code changes using Tab, making it easier to find the next relevant edit without manually searching through files or references. Press Tab again to accept a suggestion.

An arrow in the gutter indicates an available edit suggestion. Click the arrow to access the edit suggestion menu, which provides keyboard shortcuts. If an edit suggestion is outside the current editor view, the arrow will point up or down to indicate where the next suggestion is.
