Bug

Body

Hello, i have gotten copilot setup on JetBrans Client , however TAB does not seem to function (other keybindings such as next work fine), i have disabled cmp's usage of TAB but the problem still presists JetBrans Client just seems to tab indent when in insert mode instead of using the copilot suggestion.

Hi @sullivanSun , If Tab is not working correctly, have you tried re-assigning the keybinding to something else? You can configure the settings at at Preferences > Keymap > Plugins > GitHub Copilot

Also, what is the layout of your keyboard (like - English-US) and do you have Tab already assigned to any other keybinding with JetBrains IDE?

[sullivanSun]

hallo@Akash1134, My keyboard layout is the default MacOS keyboard layout provided by the IDE and the keyboark is Apple Extended keyboark. Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question. Unfortunately, the solution provided doesn't quite address my issue

[kingwe-stack]

yes, i can not use any shortcuts to make a completion.

Same problem and what if I set other keybinding such as shift+ctrl+x which wa not used by others,I still can't use code completion .

Same, am accessing a Linux server from a windows JetBrains client - does not work with TAB or setting to anything else - simply can't get Copilot completions.

This is still not working for me

Me too. I am waiting for a solution as soon as possible.

For me, completions works only the second time I try it. I.e. I press Tab, then it jumps to next line, I go back, now if I press Tab again it inserts the suggestion.

Anyone else experiencing this?

I can't find a way to make completions work under PHPStorm on WSL2 running on JetBrains Gateway on Windows. I've tried to change the keybindings to one that didn't conflict with the others but with no luck. I see the completions on the interface but I can't select them.

It is still not working.

I have the same problem. I am developing on Debian remotely from an M2 Mac, and Copilot’s Tab key does not autocomplete. Changing to other shortcuts also does not work.

copilot version: 1.5.6.5692
JetBrains version:2024.1.2

Same in the paid version of RustRover working remotely against WSL2.

[mtdenni]

this is not working for me either. i've tried several rebinds and cannot get autocomplete to work.

Hey guys, got it to work by doing:

1. Delete Copilot plugin in both Host and Client Plugins.
2. Reinstall Copilot plugin only in Client.

Hope this helps

Thanks. This worked but as others mentioned, this removes the chat feature. Which is very useful as well. I don't know if this is an issue with jetbrains or github copilot plugin?

Guess back to VSCode

[russkel]

I disabled the plugin on the Host, enabled on the Client. Shut everything down. Closed the bridge, closed Clion, reconnected. Working now.

[theSymbeint]

Yes! This worked for me, also! Thanks!!

[marcha-pfsw]

Yes finally! Thanks bryanjuho!

[GhostvOne]

Perfect ! It work, thanks !
