Github Copilot To Add Code instead Comments?

Using github copilot, whenever it processes a comment and tab and enter is pressed it just creates the same comment over and over again.

I want it to provide code. How?

I had the exact same problem when I was learning Github Copilot with VS Code. Copilot was helping me complete the comment instead of generating code. I had to use "Ctrl + I" on Windows in order to open a co-pilot prompt dialog and writing the comment there. It didn't show the "Open Completion Panel" however.

Go on new line after comment, and start typing what you want to create. In your case type def and wait a while. If not enough give the function name and wait a while again.

First Add single line comment in you visual studio code that describe code you want to be written by github copilot like // function to add two numbers in javascript then press Enter wait for little seconds code that do what you described in comment will appear then press tab. Note : in some case your code might be incomplete just keep pressing enter then tab when code look like comment.
