So, we're excited to release a new preview feature, <strong>Copilot Next Edit Suggestions</strong> (Copilot NES).</p> <p>Based on the edits you're making, Copilot NES both predicts the location of the next edit you'll want to make and what that edit should be. NES suggests future changes relevant to your current work, and you can simply <span class="keybinding">Tab</span> to quickly navigate and accept suggestions.</p> <p>Notice in the following example that changing a variable triggers an edit suggestion further down the file. Just use the <span class="keybinding">Tab</span> key to navigate and accept the suggestion. The gutter indicator will guide you to your next edit suggestion.</p> <p><img src="/assets/updates/1_97/nes-arrow-directions.gif" alt="Video showing Copilot NES suggesting code edits at another location.

Configure the <span class="setting"><a href="vscode://settings/editor.inlineSuggest.edits.renderSideBySide" codesetting="true"><span class="codicon codicon-settings-gear dynamic-setting-icon" title="Open 'editor.inlineSuggest.edits.renderSideBySide' in Settings Editor"></span></a>editor.inlineSuggest.edits.renderSideBySide</span> setting to always render suggestions below the current line.</p> <p>Copilot NES is rapidly evolving, and we can't wait to get your feedback via issues in <a href="https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-copilot-release" class="external-link" target="_blank">our repo</a>.

Today, we're now announcing the general availability of Copilot Edits! Copilot Edits is optimized for code editing and enables you to make code changes across multiple files in your workspace, directly from chat.</p> <h4 id="_improved-editor-controls" data-needslink="_improved-editor-controls">Improved editor controls</h4> <p>Edits can now be accepted and discarded individually, giving you more control. Also new is that the editor controls for edits remain visible when switching to the side-by-side view. This is useful for understanding larger changes.</p> <p><img src="/assets/updates/1_97/edits-accept-hunk.png" alt="Screenshot that shows how to accept an individual change from Copilot Edits in the editor." loading="lazy"> <em>Theme: <a href="https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=GitHub.github-vscode-theme" class="external-link" target="_blank">GitHub Light Colorblind (Beta)</a> (preview on <a href="https://vscode.dev/editor/theme/GitHub.github-vscode-theme/GitHub%20Light%20Colorblind%20(Beta)" class="external-link" target="_blank">vscode.dev</a>)</em></p> <p>Lastly, we have added a new setting for automatically accepting edit suggestions after a configurable timeout. The setting for that is <span class="setting"><a href="vscode://settings/chat.editing.autoAcceptDelay" codesetting="true"><span class="codicon codicon-settings-gear dynamic-setting-icon" title="Open 'chat.editing.autoAcceptDelay' in Settings Editor"></span></a>chat.editing.autoAcceptDelay</span>, which specifies the number of seconds after which changes are accepted. The countdown stops when you interact with the accept button or when you start to review changes. This should be familiar to anyone who binge-watches on the weekends.</p> <p><video src="/assets/updates/1_97/edits-auto-accept.mp4" title="Video showing a gradient on the Accept button for Copilot Edits, indicating the auto-accept progress." autoplay loop controls muted></video> <em>Theme: <a href="https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=GitHub.github-vscode-theme" class="external-link" target="_blank">GitHub Light Colorblind (Beta)</a> (preview on <a href="https://vscode.dev/editor/theme/GitHub.github-vscode-theme/GitHub%20Light%20Colorblind%20(Beta)" class="external-link" target="_blank">vscode.dev</a>)</em></p> <h3 id="_apply-in-editor" data-needslink="_apply-in-editor">Apply in editor</h3> <p>In Copilot Chat, any code block can be applied to a file in the workspace by using the <strong>Apply to Editor</strong> action in the toolbar of the code block. We made several improvements to this experience:</p> <ul> <li> <p>The hover of the action now shows the file the code block was generated for.</p> <p><img src="/assets/updates/1_97/apply-code-block-hover.png" alt="Screenshot that shows the Apply Code Block hover text, indicating the target file name." loading="lazy"></p> </li> <li> <p>If the code block is for a non-existent file, you are prompted where to create the file. This can be at a file path suggested by Copilot, in an untitled editor, or in the currently active editor.</p> </li> <li> <p>When the changes are computed and applied, the same flow and UI as for Copilot Edits are used. You can review, improve, or discard each change individually.</p> </li> </ul> <h3 id="_temporal-context" data-needslink="_temporal-context">Temporal context</h3> <p>Temporal context helps when editing or generating code by informing the language model about files that you have recently interacted with. We are experimenting and measuring its effectiveness but it can also be enabled manually, <span class="setting"><a href="vscode://settings/github.copilot.chat.editor.temporalContext.enabled" codesetting="true"><span class="codicon codicon-settings-gear dynamic-setting-icon" title="Open 'github.copilot.chat.editor.temporalContext.enabled' in Settings Editor"></span></a>github.copilot.chat.editor.temporalContext.enabled</span> for Inline Chat and <span class="setting"><a href="vscode://settings/github.copilot.chat.edits.temporalContext.enabled" codesetting="true"><span class="codicon codicon-settings-gear dynamic-setting-icon" title="Open 'github.copilot.chat.edits.temporalContext.enabled' in Settings Editor"></span></a>github.copilot.chat.edits.temporalContext.enabled</span> for Copilot Edits.</p> <h3 id="_workspace-index-status-ui" data-needslink="_workspace-index-status-ui">Workspace index status UI</h3> <p>When you ask Copilot a question about the code in your project by using <code>@workspace</code> or <code>#codebase</code>, we use an index to quickly and accurately search your codebase for relevant code snippets to include as context. This index can either be a <a href="https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/copilot/workspace-context#_remote-index">remote index managed by GitHub</a>, <a href="https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/copilot/workspace-context#_local-index">a locally stored index</a>, or <a href="https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/copilot/workspace-context#_basic-index">a basic index</a> used as a fallback for large projects that can't use a remote index.</p> <p>This iteration, we've added the new workspace index to the language status indicator in the Status Bar that shows the type of index being used by Copilot and related information, such as the number of files being reindexed. To see this, just select the <code>{}</code> icon in the VS Code Status Bar.</p> <p><img src="/assets/updates/1_97/copilot-workspace-status.png" alt="Screenshot that shows the status of the Copilot workspace indexing in the Status Bar." loading="lazy"></p> <p>Check out the <a href="https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/copilot/workspace-context#_managing-the-workspace-index">Copilot workspace docs</a> for more info about the types of workspace indexes and how you can switch between them.</p> <h3 id="_build-a-remote-workspace-index" data-needslink="_build-a-remote-workspace-index">Build a remote workspace index</h3> <p><a href="https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/copilot/workspace-context#_remote-index">Remote workspace indexes</a> are managed by GitHub. A remote index can provide high-quality results quickly, even for large projects. They also only have to be built once per GitHub project, instead of once per user.</p> <p>Given all these advantages, we have added several new ways to upgrade a project to a remote index:</p> <ul> <li> <p>Run the new <strong>GitHub Copilot: Build Remote Index</strong> command.</p> </li> <li> <p>Select the Build Index button in the <a href="#_workspace-index-status-ui">workspace index status UI</a>. This only shows up if your project is eligible for remote indexing.</p> </li> <li> <p>Select the Build Index button in the first <code>@workspace</code> response you see. This only shows up if your project is eligible and also only shows once per workspace.</p> </li> </ul> <p>Keep in mind that only projects with a GitHub remote can currently use a remote index.

Put simply, rather than going to the browser for Microsoft authentication flows, we now talk to the OS directly, which is the recommended way of acquiring a Microsoft authentication session.
