Copilot code suggestions in your IDE

About code suggestions in Visual Studio Code

Copilot in Visual Studio Code provides two kinds of code suggestions:

• Code completion
  • Copilot offers coding suggestions as you type. You can also describe something you want to do using natural language within a comment, and Copilot will suggest the code to accomplish your goal.
• Sugerencias de edición siguientes (versión preliminar pública)
  • Based on the edits you are making, Copilot will predict the location of the next edit you are likely to make and suggest a completion for it. Suggestions may span a single symbol, an entire line, or multiple lines, depending on the scope of the potential change. To enable sugerencias de edición siguientes, see Configuración de GitHub Copilot en tu entorno.

GitHub Copilot proporciona sugerencias para numerosos lenguajes y una amplia variedad de marcos, pero funciona especialmente bien para Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Ruby, Go, C# y C++. GitHub Copilot también puede ayudar en la generación de consultas para bases de datos, o en la generación de sugerencias para API y marcos, y puede ayudar con la infraestructura como desarrollo de código.

Changing the model used for code completion

You can switch the AI model that's used by Copilot code completion if:

• An alternative model is currently available
• You are using the latest releases of VS Code with the latest version of the GitHub Copilot extension

Changing the model only affects Copilot code completion. It does not affect Copilot next edit suggestions.

For details of how to switch the model for Copilot code completion, see Cambio del modelo de IA para la finalización del código de Copilot.

Effects of switching the AI model

Changing the model that's used for Copilot code completion does not affect the model that's used by Copilot next edit suggestions or Copilot Chat. See Cambio del modelo de IA para Copilot Chat.

There are no changes to the data collection and usage policy if you change the AI model.

If you are on a Copilot Free plan, all completions count against your completions quota regardless of the model used. See Plans for GitHub Copilot.

The setting to enable or disable suggestions that match public code are applied irrespective of which model you choose. See Búsqueda de código público que coincida con sugerencias de GitHub Copilot.
