Copilot completion does not work in live template

[kaesekarl]

Hello!

I have a (maybe bug?) problem with the way command-completion is handled:

When i press enter now i expect the command to be completed and my cursor is in between the curly brackets to insert a file.
But instead of just the cursor being there, a live template is created and i cant use the Copilot to tab the suggested insertion.

I know that the template can be useful for something like environments but it drives me nuts when i want to tab and instead of the suggestion a "real" tab appears in the box.

(I know i can hit ESC to disable the Template but i have to hit it twice since copilot will disable first and then i cant insert the suggestion i wanted either)

Is there a way to turn this behaviour off that i didnt find on google or in the documentation?

Yes, copilot is well known for getting in the way of things. To me this sounds like a keymap conflict, because you (as in, with your current settings) want tab to magically know which of the two things it is assigned to it should do.
So, I would suggest to change one of the shortcuts to something else. Not sure if it is possible to re-assign the 'jump out of live template' tab shortcut.

Yeah i get that, i would just expect that when i Enter and the command gets completed that the Live Template doesn't exist in the first place, if there is only one place for the cursor to be (so only the cursor is supposed to move, the live template is unnecessary). That is also the behaviour of every command-completion in IntelliJ (and most IDEs in general)

In the case that there is only one required parameter, I don't think the live template is unnecessary because now you can jump out of the required parameter with tab or enter. But I agree that for example Kotlin does not support that either, so we could argue we shouldn't support that either.
The problem you describe will remain however if there is more than one required parameter, or optional parameters.
