How to Enable or Disable Copilot Next Edit Suggestions (NES)
The Problem
While editing code, Copilot shows “Next Edit Suggestions” (NES) highlighting where you should edit next.
Sometimes this is helpful, but other times it’s distracting when you want to work at your own pace.
Or maybe you’ve heard about NES but it’s not showing up and you want to try it.
The Solution
The github.copilot.nextEditSuggestions.enabled setting lets you toggle NES on or off.
How to Configure
- Open Settings with
Ctrl + , - Search for
next edit suggestions - Toggle the “GitHub > Copilot > Next Edit Suggestions: Enabled” checkbox
Example settings.json
To disable NES:
{
"github.copilot.nextEditSuggestions.enabled": false
}To enable NES (default):
{
"github.copilot.nextEditSuggestions.enabled": true
}NES vs Inline Completions
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Inline Completions | Shows code suggestions at the cursor position |
| NES (Next Edit Suggestions) | Suggests the next location you should edit |
For example, after changing a function’s parameters, NES will suggest updating the call sites of that function as well.
Summary
Use github.copilot.nextEditSuggestions.enabled to toggle NES. Turn it off if it’s distracting, or turn it on to try this powerful editing assistant.
