Description

Relaying NES feedback from @aschackmull:

Another thing that's a little bit annoying is that it's a two-key combination for me to dismiss a suggestion - that's because I use the VSCode Neovim extension, so I have to go to insert mode pressing i before it'll accept my pressing escape. (Similarly, I also need to enter insert mode before I can accept suggestions, so that's i + tab instead of just tab, but that doesn't really bother me much, so that's mainly FYI). It's possible that I'm able to fix this myself by editing the appropriate keybindings in VSCode, but none of them are labelled with "next-edit suggestion" - there's only keybindings related to "suggestions", so that makes it very unclear whether they relate to NES or regular copilot suggestions or something else. But really, I don't want to edit keybindings, I just want it to work out of the box (in combination with the Neovim extension, which I really really need).
