Copilot++ Improvements
The biggest difference is the way Copilot++ and GitHub Copilot complete code.
GitHub Copilot can insert text at your cursor position. It cannot edit the code around your cursor or remove text.
Copilot++ can insert text at your cursor, and much more:
- Multi-character edits

- Instruction-based edits

Further, Copilot++ has a history of your recent changes in the context window, so it knows what you are trying to do next.
Migrate from GitHub Copilot
Since Copilot++ comes by default with GitHub Copilot, you might have GitHub Copilot and Copilot++ installed at the same time. We recommend turning off GitHub Copilot when you want to use Copilot++.
By default, Copilot++ takes precedence over GitHub Copilot. If you want to use GitHub Copilot, you can disable Copilot++ in the settings.
