Question

A developer on your team uses GitHub Copilot in VS Code and finds inline suggestions helpful for most work, but wants to stop receiving suggestions only while editing Markdown documentation files, without disabling Copilot for other languages or globally. What is the most appropriate way to achieve this?

Accepted Answer

Configure the 'github.copilot.enable' setting to set 'markdown' to false while leaving other language keys enabled

Answer

Open the Copilot status menu and toggle 'Enable Completions', which globally disables all inline suggestions until re-enabled

Answer

Uninstall the GitHub Copilot extension and reinstall it only when working on non-Markdown files

Answer

Add the Markdown files to a content exclusion policy in the organization's Copilot settings on GitHub.com
