Problem of using GitHub Co-pilot

In a way we all use AI in editor such as Cursor AI, GitHub Co-pilot, Replit etc. But using these tools have a one little but very impactful disadvantage for the beginners who just kept their first step in coding.

Which is not writing code by self. I have seen a lot of students who got overwhelmed, and think that they are writing the code but in reality that's not the case.

So in this post i am going to show about a way through which a one can disable or enable the AI suggested code (for VS Code only) so that you will be not getting suggestion from AI.

Let's jump into it 🏃‍♂️💻


1. We are going to disable these suggestions:


2. Press ctrl + shift + p ⌨️


3. Search for "GitHub: Toggle(Enable/Disable) Completions" 🔍


4. Click on the setting icon on it ⚙️


5. Then double click on the "GitHub: Toggle(Enable/Disable) Completions" 🖱️


6. Set the shortcut key you want (Alt + numpadd_add in my case) 🔢


Yep, that's it. Now You can toggle the code completion by using your chosen shortcut key 🔁

I hope you have liked this post 😊

HAPPY BIRTHDAY & HAPPY CODING ! 🎉🎂👨‍💻
