When the extension disables auto-suggestions, it also disables the Alt-\ hotkey to explicitly request a completion.
I'm guessing that fixing #9 will fix this too. It looks like the older github.copilot.inlineSuggest.enable setting disables inline suggestions completely (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71224911). That's probably why they changed the setting name in the first place, since the new setting only disables automatic suggestions.
