Need a keyboard shortcut to disable and enable copilot suggestions

[arunib]

Sometimes copilot suggestions may not be relevant for the file being opened.
It would be good to have a default key binding to enable and disable copilot suggestions.
Ofcourse I can define a custom one. But this seems to be basic feature and must be available widely.

key binding to enable and disable copilot suggestions

Would be great to have such default keybinding to toggle the state I guess.

I'd argue against a default.

There's a time when every vim plugin offered default keybinds to their features, and we were drowned in unset-ing those keybinds and resetting them to something else, which actually increases the size of our configs. It also forces users to have to fight with conflicting keybinds whenever they introduce a new plugin to their editor.

Furthermore, the way of which we arrange our mnemonics may differ, either subtly or wildly so. So the benefits of a default becomes somewhat dubious, when you consider that it would be in most people's interest to use their own keybinds instead.

I'd argue against a default.

While I do agree with the key idea in general, I'd like to point out that copilot.vim allows to turn off all mappings altogether and, if not, then adds its default keybindings if they're not taken already: https://github.com/github/copilot.vim/blob/release/plugin/copilot.vim#L73-L109

UPD (for clarity): so I'd expect the new mapping/keybinding to be added using the same approach

You can perfectly do this for the files with extension .foo using something like

 autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.foo let g:copilot_enabled = v:false

Also you can add your own keybinding like

nnoremap <leader>cd Copilot disable<CR>
