Solution

  • 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.

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

    This should now enable you to accept suggestions in Markdown using the Tab key!

    Note: Make sure to restart VS Code after this.
