How to enable `Github Copilot` typing `Tab` to auto completes in markdown files?

Question

I can get some suggestions by copilot in .md files, But when I keydowned Tab, it only added a space, not autocompletes the suggestion, What should I do can autocomplete the suggestion?

Answer 1

To enable suggestions for GitHub Copilot with a Tab key, follow the steps below.

1. Open the file keybindings.json in Visual Studio Code. This can be done by pressing Ctrl + Shift + P, and typing Open Keyboard Shortcuts (JSON).

2. In keybindings.json, add the following (inside the existing square brackets []):

   {
       "key": "tab",
       "command": "editor.action.inlineSuggest.commit",
       "when": "textInputFocus && inlineSuggestionHasIndentationLessThanTabSize && inlineSuggestionVisible && !editorTabMovesFocus"     
   }
   

Make sure to restart VS Code after this.
