How to change the default keybind for accepting IntelliSense / Copilot suggestion in VS 2022

Question

I have installed VS 2022 and Github Copilot. When there is a code recomandation, it suggests to press TAB to accept the suggestion, but I want to assign another key for this and leave the TAB for inserings actual TABs in the code.

I have tried to change a few bindings from Options > Environment > Keyboard but none seems to affect this one.

Is there any way to change this action's key to something else ?

This. This is actually the reason I'm not using copilot :( – Gualterio

Funny, I want the opposite (tab to accept the suggestion) so it works the same as VS Code, but tab does not work -- it inserts a tab -- and I have to press the right arrow to accept the suggestion. – Strow

Answer 1

With the workaround I found here, I can accept CoPilot suggestions with the right-arrow key while using Emacs keybindings.

You can use right arrow key instead of tab:

go to Tools -> Options -> IntelliCode -> Completions for whole lines of code. Enable the setting named Apply completions for whole lines on right arrow. Copilot is affected by this option.
