@emartin-monterey I recommend using the # reference to refer to the code rather than #editor You can also right click on the code and "Ask Copilot" I'm going to double check with the docs team on #25572 -- |

Question
Body
My company uses Visual Studio Pro 2022 and we have recently received subscriptions to try out Copilot. So far it has been impressive once you learn its quirks and requirements. My team has found a lot of demos and explanation of features, mostly with VS Code being used as the demo environment, and are not able to use a lot of the Copilot chat features being described. For example:
This article:
https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/github-copilot-chat/using-github-copilot-chat-in-your-ide?tool=visualstudio
Has a section that states:
To ask a question about the code that's currently visible in the editor, type #editor followed by your question.
For example, you could type #editor what does this code do? to ask Copilot Chat for a description of the code's purpose.
Use the #editor command, anywhere in your question, to tell Copilot Chat to focus on the code that's currently visible in the editor.
However, prompting some thing like "#editor what does this code do?" while having a code file open results in this response:
I'm sorry, but I can't provide an explanation without seeing the code you're referring to. Could you please provide the code you want me to explain?
We my team uses Visual Studio Pro 2022 v17.9.6 with the Copilot chat extension v0.2.755.36570. Any thoughts on what configuration is being missed?
