Option to Disable Auto-Generated Commit Messages #1323

Closed MitchTalmadge closed 1 month ago

MitchTalmadge commented 3 months ago

I love most of GitHub Copilot, but I find the auto-generated commit messages very distracting and I would like the option to turn them off. I have never benefitted from the messages it generates, and sometimes find it frustrating.

For example, I will finish typing my message, go to click "Commit", and then right as I am hovering over the button, Copilot will generate a message and force the button to be below my cursor.

If I ever want to generate a commit message, I can use the sparkle button to the right of the text field.

Thank you!

@MitchTalmadge, thanks for getting back to me on this matter. Could you please check the value of the github.copilot.enable setting? Does it contain an entry to enable Copilot completion for the scminput language? If so you should set that to false. Thanks!

MitchTalmadge commented 3 months ago

@lszomoru Thanks for the help. I tried changing that value to false and it did not disable the suggestions, even after restarting VSCode.

I even created a new VSCode profile with no extensions other than Copilot, and it still has this behavior when scminput is false.

The only change I have found which disables this entirely is setting github.copilot.editor.enableAutoCompletions to false, which of course means I don't get any suggestions in my editor, so I don't want to do that.

Thanks!

@MitchTalmadge, sorry for not getting back to you on this. Are you still able to reproduce this issue with the latest VS Code and Copilot Chat extensions?

MitchTalmadge commented 1 month ago

It seems to be fixed now when setting scminput to false as shown in my previous reply. Thank you!
