In this tutorial, I am focused on Github Copilot for Java Developers.

This means that if you're running any flavor of the JetBrains IDE like IntelliJ, GoLand, or Webstorm you can use Github Copilot. At Github Universe 2021 they announced support for NeoVim and Jetbrains. When it was released back in June of 2021 they only had support for Visual Studio Code. I'm not sure if it supported Java when it was first launched but at the time of writing this, the technical preview supports Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Ruby, Java & Go. With GitHub Copilot, get suggestions for whole lines or entire functions right inside your editor. However, none of the examples even worked and there are barely any.💡 The video tutorial for this blog post can be found above or you can click here to watch it on YouTube.Įarlier this year GitHub launched Copilot, an AI pair-programmer. Here is the only available data on the IDE Scripting console: I want to fix it using the above method, the easiest approach would be the most welcome one.

The reason probably is their marketing, they take those 12 lines (11 of them garbage) as efficiency improvement (12 lines of code accepted). So users of it are forced to accept 12 lines of bad code, remove all the bad parts. The possibly biggest problem of Copilot with countless of bug/feedback/feature reports since 2021 is that it inputs tons of code when people just want a tiny part.

Now I want to press a shortcut to accept the completion word by word until finished.

I want to immediately remove the code again and display it as a completion suggestion (should be quick).When pressing Ctrl + Tab (shortcut for GitHub Copilot completion) I want my custom-script to wait for the completion to be inserted into the IDE code.

I'm hoping for a bit of a guideline, maybe a snippet that leads in the right direction. I've been trying to find any type of documentation or examples on how to use the 'IDE scripting engine' (or other quick methods of enhancing PhpStorm/IntelliJ IDEs) and found literally nothing that works.
