\title Using GitHub Copilot
The Copilot plugin (disabled by default) integrates
\l{https://github.com/features/copilot}{GitHub Copilot} into \QC.
You can view suggestions from Copilot in the \uicontrol Edit mode.
\note If you enable the Copilot plugin, you must agree with and abide by
the GitHub terms of use. It is your responsibility to know and accept the
requirements and parameters of using Copilot, such as ensuring you have
the rights to grant it access to your code. Also, you must understand the
implications of using it and the suggestions it produces, such as code
copyright and accuracy.
\section1 Requirements
To use the Copilot plugin, you need:
\list
\li An active \l{https://docs.github.com/en/billing/managing-billing-for-github-copilot/about-billing-for-github-copilot}
{GitHub Copilot subscription}.
\li GitHub Copilot Neovim plugin installed (requires Node.js), as described in
\l{https://github.com/github/copilot.vim/blob/release/README.md}
{Copilot.vim/Readme.md}.
\endlist
\section1 Setting Copilot Preferences

Node.js executable.
\li In the \uicontrol {Path to agent.js} field, enter the path to

proxy server.
\li In the \uicontrol {Proxy port} field, enter the port number of the
proxy server.
\li Select the \uicontrol {Reject unauthorized} check box to prevent the
security risk presented by accepting unauthorized certificates from
the proxy server.
\li In the \uicontrol {Proxy user} field, enter the user name to
authenticate to the proxy server.
\li Select the \uicontrol {Save proxy password} check box to save the
password to authenticate to the proxy server.
\note The password is saved insecurely.
\li In the \uicontrol {Proxy password} field, enter the password to save.
To see the password as you type, select the \inlineimage icons/original-size.png
button.
\endlist
\section1 Receiving Suggestions
When you write code in the \l {Working in Edit Mode}{Edit} mode and
\uicontrol {Auto request} is enabled, Copilot automatically makes
suggestions when you type.
\image qtcreator-copilot.gif {Receiving suggestions from Copilot in the editor}
To manually request a suggestion at the current editor's cursor position,
select \uicontrol {Request Copilot Suggestion} in the context menu.
Hover the mouse over a suggestion to show a toolbar with
\inlineimage icons/prev.png
and \inlineimage icons/next.png
buttons for cycling between Copilot suggestions.
To apply a suggestion as a whole, select \uicontrol Apply or press
the \key Tab key.
To apply a suggestion word-by-word, select \uicontrol {Apply Word}
or press \key {Alt+Right}.
To reject a suggestion, press \key Esc or the arrow keys.
\section1 Enabling and Disabling Suggestions
You can enable and disable the Copilot suggestions either globally for all
projects or at project level for a particular project.
To enable or disable Copilot suggestions globally, select the
\inlineimage icons/copilot.png
(\uicontrol {Toggle Copilot}) button. This also sets the value of the
\uicontrol {Enable Copilot} check box in \preferences accordingly.
To enable or disable Copilot suggestions for a particular project,
select \uicontrol Projects > \uicontrol {Project Settings} >
\uicontrol Copilot, and then select or deselect the
\uicontrol {Enable Copilot} check box.
