Copilot in VS Code doesn't generating code from a comment when hit [Enter]

[piojanu]

Hi!

If I write a Python comment in VSC and hit enter, GitHub Copilot doesn't automatically generate a suggestion. I need to hit Option+\ for it to work. Tried to look through the setting and Google, but couldn't find the answer. How can I fix that?

Thanks,
Piotr

Okay, I see that I might not understand this properly: https://github.com/github/copilot-docs/blob/main/docs/visualstudiocode/gettingstarted.md#5-generating-code-from-a-comment
I see that I need to start writing the code for it to generate suggestions. Nevertheless, is there an option to make it generate suggestions for new lines automatically like in tab-nine?

I have the same issue here i think it has to do with a prompt we didnt accept.

I saw it happen if the comment was the first line in a new file. If I started it on the second line, things worked fine.

Same issue here. I worked copilot very well in the last few days, but suddenly it didn't return any suggestions, and I could not use the tab to accept the solution. I need to use Alt+\ to generate the solution manually.

Did I make any accident operation or do you have any idea to solve it?

Cheers

I still have this issue in Linux. Nothing happens when hitting enter after writing a comment. Hitting Alt+\ doesn't do anything.

With mac, I hit control+enter and it pops another window on vscode and show some suggestion after few sec of synthesizing

It doesn't work on my Mac too. But instead I use sparkles button that appears at the beginning of line. It just works.

By the way it works for Webstorm.
