There are several issues in Copilot4Eclipse Chat which I'm facing. 

  1. Line breaker is not workig when I click on Shift+Enter it's work like a enter key instance of entering on new line.
  2. Upload file button is doing nothing I'm not getting any option to upload file reference.

I tried different question but the chat only processes, processes, and never give the response... In fact it didn't give me even one response.

I tried the same account with different IDEs and it works perfectly. So what is wrong with Eclipse plugin?

We are unable to install GitHub copilot plugin from  Eclipse IDE. Initially when we open the IDE, we are getting the error "failed to retrieve windows defender status-windows defender exclusion check has encountered a problem" and when we try to install the plugin, we are facing below error. Please suggest on urgent basis.

Unable to read repository at https://www.genuitec.com/updates/copilot4eclipse/content.xml.

Thank you for creating this plugin. I've been waiting to use my GitHub Copilot in Eclipse, and you delivered. Thank you very much!

Errors en STS 4.20
Request checkStatus failed with message: unable to verify the first certificate (Copilot Version: 1.145.0
or
Your current Copilot license doesn't support proxy connections with custom certificates

With VisualStudio it doesn't give me problems, and, until a week ago, it also worked well in STS

Copilot has started giving me errors and I have uninstalled Copilot4Eclipse, but when I reinstall, it tells me "There are no licenses to review. Either the software does not specify a license, or the license has already been reviewed and approved."
I have a Copilot license, and I use it with VisualCode, but for a few days now, I can no longer use it in Eclipse...

Hi Andreas,

Please note that CTRL+RIGHT is still available in all Eclipse editors.

Copilot4Eclipse adds additional context to the CTRL+RIGHT keyboard shortcut such that when the cursor is within an inline code suggestion, the keyboard shortcut will incrementally accept the completion text word by word. When outside of an inline completion context, CTRL+RIGHT performs the default Next Word action. We chose to enhance the CTRL+RIGHT keyboard shortcut this way to provide a consistent experience with how Copilot works in IntelliJ and Visual Studio Code.

Please note that all Copilot4Eclipse keyboard shortcuts including CTRL+RIGHT can be customized to your own preference or disabled if you choose. More information is available on the support thread you created here.

If you experience issue or have a concern please contact us directly on our community forum which allows us to provide more detailed and immediate assistance.
