Playing with VS Code also reminds me how overloaded the tab key can be. It might do indentation, or LSP completion, or snippet completion, or Copilot completion.
In Emacs I've configured these operations on separate keys (e.g. yasnippet on SPC) which is less surprising.

Copilot doesn't offer a way of disabling completion inside comments. People have discovered a comical workaround: swearing in the comment!
I'm still figuring out where Copilot fits in my workflow, and I find it works really well *when I know exactly what code I want*.
When I have e.g. two lines in mind, I can see if it will write them (saving me the typing), and it's trivial to validate correctness.
Copilot was super helpful for changing some locals to lazy_static!:
let integer_re = Regex::new(...) // old
static ref INTEGER_RE = Regex::new(...) // new
Unfortunately, it added a $ to the end of my first regex! It saved me a ton of keystrokes, but needed careful checking.
