How to Stop Copilot from Auto-Suggesting Rename Candidates
The Problem
When renaming a variable or function with F2, Copilot automatically suggests rename candidates.
You already have a name in mind, but Copilot’s suggestions get in the way of typing it.
The Solution
The github.copilot.renameSuggestions.triggerAutomatically setting lets you disable automatic rename suggestions.
How to Configure
- Open Settings with
Ctrl + , - Search for
copilot rename - Uncheck “GitHub > Copilot > Rename Suggestions: Trigger Automatically”
Example settings.json
{
"github.copilot.renameSuggestions.triggerAutomatically": false
}The default is true (auto-suggest enabled). Setting it to false stops Copilot from automatically showing rename candidates.
Summary
Set github.copilot.renameSuggestions.triggerAutomatically to false to rename symbols at your own pace without Copilot interference.
