trying to type something and it would autocomplete

I don’t know what program you used, exactly, but if the autocompletion comes automatically, you’re doing it wrong. You start typing, check what Copilot is suggesting, ant if it is right, you accept it.

Except the defaults for copilot plugins automatically put them either on enter or tab, the normal completion mechanisms for any decent IDE.
