Add an option to disable ghost inline auto complete for GitHub Copilot for comments specifically

[sam-segal-sndk]

Type: Feature Request

Basically what the title says.

Very often GH CoPilot ghost inline auto complete is garbage for the comment / documentation I'm trying to write it and having it pop after every single word / char I input shoots and kills my train of thought, for every single word I type.

horrible. I want to keep the code suggestions, but avoid the comment ones.

aren't suggestions already disabled by default in comments?
editor.quickSuggestions iirc

I think editor.quickSuggestions applies to all inline suggestions, not just comments.
I would like to disable the comments specifically, the rest is useful.

bro doesn't check

"editor.quickSuggestions": {
	"other": "on",
	"comments": "off",
	"strings": "off"
}

Where should I find this? in the %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Code\User\settings.json file?

yup and your workspace .vscode/settings.json file

I tried both the repository settings file (.vscode/settings.json) and the use profile settings file (%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Code\User\settings.json) - I've added to both "editor.quickSuggestions": { "other": "on", "comments": "off", "strings": "off" }
and reloaded window or closed VS Code and re-opened it.
I still get inline comments auto completions, like so:

Here's how it appears on the settings window:

So, with the suggested settings change, the same behavior persists.

Perhaps there's a way to suppress inline suggestions for specific char or char combination, like "//"?
That would likely be adequate solution.
