Same for me ! It's a bit too much in my way on day-to-day tasks, even a fixed delayed value like 500ms would be great ! |

This is also an issue in Visual Studio Code. The lack of options for customising the UX is extremely frustrating as an active impediment to Copilot's usability and full integration into one's daily workflow. In terms of the sheer amount of text Copilot spits into the editor, it is far more verbose than normal completion. The latter has plenty of options for customisation (e.g. delay) and yet Copilot, which is more visually invasive, has nothing. Except for the ability to just… turn it off? If Copilot were in beta or newly-released, I could understand that its product team would have prioritized the core functionality over usability. But considering how long Copilot has been out, it seems like improving the interface usability is pretty low on their priority list… |

In VSC you can press CTRL + space to force show code suggestions. This forcefully closes the copilot suggestion |

Bump, lack of this feature will probably motivate me to cancel my Copilot subscription, need to be able to set a delay similar to VSCode's TextEditor Intellisense's editor.hover.delay setting (microsoft/vscode#55098). It's an incredibly useful service but just a lot of visual noise when trying to code. |

Bump again. Why is this still an issue? VERY annoying. |

+1 here, this feature would really be appreciated. The lack of this feature is currently Copilot's biggest issue for my usage. Very similar request here: Option to set delay for suggestions would be nice #9978 |

It's been two years since the first message in this thread. Any plans to allow us to set a custom delay before copilot provides a suggestion? |

Yes. Must. Have. I get very annoyed when I am typing a comment and it thinks to know what I am going to type even though I only typed "the" or something like that. How in god's name do you think you know what the comment is going to be about? Superfluous suggestions are very counter-productive, sometimes true intelligence requires you to be silent. |

I 100% agree with [ insert copilot irrelevant suggestion ] |

I came here because I can't stand the instant autocomplete in VScode anymore. I need a delay time, as it's distracting when you're focused. |

I just don't use it until i need to anymore, because it is outta hand. You can download a status bar toggle to get by until they listen to the community. Extension VS Code: copilot-inline-toggle |

I gave up, switched to windsurf and it's pretty good. |

Did you find a setting to make Windsurf delay its suggestions? I couldn't seem to find one when I looked through it. |

There is no delay that I am aware of. I'm 3 days in, it does some things that I really like but it also does some of the issues that everyone is complaining about. So far it's not as intrusive but... it still has moments. Copilot to me right now is not usable and is causing me more issues than anything and slowing me down which I can't have on a tight schedule. But I also need to have a co-helper because I am the only developer. Co-pilot was bridging that gap but right now it is useless. |

There actually is an option to delay the response. I also set the inline commit to shift + enter. This way i can still use tab. You can do this with copilot too. |

How is a delay setting still not a thing?!? Fix this, Github!!! |

Recently copilot became unnecessary verbose and very fast to spit out a suggestion, to the point when I cannot use Tab key to indent code, as Copilot constantly offers smth and pressing Tab almost always invokes "accept unwanted suggestion" scenario. |

I thought it was just me, but I agree with you 100%. It's so fast now I feel like I hit ESC and delete mis-accepted suggestions more than I type my own code! |

Yeah it's too good at it. It's a weird downside of decreasing latency I just wish I could somehow wrangle it to be a bit more chilled like it used to be. Or even just make it not suggest things if I'm mid comment. It's funny though when it starts adding "[...] but it's pointless" or "[...] however it doesn't work" randomly as i'm typing comments, like... oi... mean... |

+1 for this. The completion suggestions are too aggressive, it's like trying to type code with schizophrenia. |

Suggestion Delay – Set how long Copilot waits before showing a suggestion (default 0ms, user-configurable). Silence After Escape – After pressing Esc to dismiss a suggestion, Copilot should stay silent for X milliseconds (user-configurable), so it doesn't instantly suggest again. These features would reduce interruptions and make indentation or writing without suggestions easier. |

Second this. It is so annoying I just deactivated it. |

any progress on this? Can't believe it's not already an option. Sometimes the code suggestions are so massive it gets in the way of manually reading / editing the code. Could be related: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/9978 |

When inline suggestion was new, it felt like it was helping me code. Now with it's current aggressive suggestions that are constant and immediate, it feels like I am helping AI to code. I don't understand how they can ignore the community for that long. They must have never used it because if they did, they would know how annoying the suggestions are with the current state. What's more annoying, those are "native" features which should always have the most user control capabilities to customize it. |

I fail to understand the delay in adding this seemingly simple, and oft duplicated request. Maybe if someone actually combined all the similar requests instead of ignoring them, it'd be more obvious how many people are experiencing issues with this idiotically aggressive and unusable "suggesttion -- I don't give a shit what you're doing" feature. |

Bump! same here! it became much more annoying recently. it is like their goal is to start to suggest as fast as possible. |

i generally have inline completion disabled because this is just too annoying to fight with all the time. this really needs to change. |

+1 the vs community implementation is perfect, but the Vs code version of copilot is too aggressive, |

A delay would be nice, but I would really love to be able to trigger suggestions only when asked, like via Getting suggestions as soon as you stop typing for a millisecond is distracting, and derails my train of thought, and feels like hypnosis lol. |

Would be much appreciated. Sometimes Copilot feels like a third hand reaching out to the keyboard while you're typing... |

In PHPstorm or Pycharm when I use co-pilot, when I need to press tab I often times inadvertently hit the auto complete whilst I only wanted a tab. Similar as described in #17238
I also have that when I wish to ode something, the suggestion is wrong, but copilot keeps adding it's suggestion , messing up enter presses and tabs I might need, or just plainly distracting me.
Often times copilot also comes with it's wrong suggestion, and the phpstorm autocomplete doesn't work without an explicit alt+space to get the suggestions list.
Please add a setting in the configuration for copilot, suggestion delay for suggestions. Default it can be 0 ms, which people can set to their own liking before they see an copilot option.
And maybe a silence duration option, which will prevent copilot from giving a suggestion for given milliseconds when esc has been pressed to cancel a suggestion.
It's tedious having to press ESC, then tab to ident, then press ESC again, then tab, etc....
I just want copilot to "shut up" for 5 seconds/configurable time when i've pressed esc.
