Continuous Interference Makes Me Lose Control Over My Code

[ciacob]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No

GitHub Copilot continuously pollutes my code with unsolicited suggestions that are too easy to accept accidentally via Tab. Most of these suggestions are unhelpful or irrelevant.

I would strongly prefer the default behavior to be reversed: completions should only appear when I explicitly request them. By default, I want control over my code — not constant interference.

At the very least, there should be a clear setting to disable Tab as the default accept key and bind a custom shortcut instead.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open a file in any supported language, e.g., ActionScript.

2. Press Enter, or edit around: completions are inserted close to your editing point in a somewhat-more-transparent font. These suggestions can be inadvertently included while pressing Tab for other reasons, such as to indent or format code. This is especially frustrating when I did not ask for a completion. Please give me the choice: let me ask for a completion when I need one, and do not intoxicate my editing session with suggestions I did not request.
