I am using VisualStudio.
Currently only supported in VSCode and browser, will it be supported in VisualStudio in the future?

[skylar-anderson]

We don't have exact plans yet, but adding more IDE extensions is something we are considering in the future :)

[diachromemis]

Is there a specific feature or tool you’re curious about being supported in Visual Studio in the future?

[detty-down]

Have you tried using VSCode or a browser to access the current features? If yes, how was your experience?

[dpewaal-iba]

Is there any tool or extension in Visual Studio that you think needs improvement or additional support?

[beingminimal]

@ThisIsKirsch When we are going to have a model selection in CW? any ETA?

[beingminimal]

@beingminimal Making CW multi-model is a top priority for us. Stay tuned 👀

ok thanks.

Would love to get Higher Rate Limits

I find that reordering files in the plan is difficult when you have a large list of files. I would love to be able to have some form of dedicated function to reorder files in the plan.

[dylanatsmith]

@wmeints Can you tell us more about why you reorder files and what order you put them in?

For example, are you grouping files and their tests, grouping all files together and all tests together, etc?

[wmeints]

I noticed that sometimes copilot workspace has the order reversed and produces the wrong result. For example, when the test file is generated before the implementation, the implementation generated is a lot worse. Now when I reorder the files, the results are better.

In most cases the order of the files is correct, however, when you start to iterate in the session using brainstorming or by typing revisions, new files are added at the end of the list that need to be at the top or somewhere in the middle. By then the list is getting pretty long so it becomes harder to reorder the files.

[dylanatsmith]

That’s helpful context, thanks @wmeints. We’ll look into this.

[beingminimal]

@ThisIsKirsch Does CW going to support custom Ai agents? like in case if we want to run ai agents we have built with langgraph in CW then is it going to be supported?

[beingminimal]

@ThisIsKirsch CW will have canvas like GPT4o-canvas to iterate?

Hi,
I've been playing around for some hours and I noticed that doing multiple revisions one ''task-session''--not sure how to name it--will essentially make co-pilot behave a bit weirdly and not complete some of the instructed tasks. My fix for this has so far been to start new task sessions and make brainstorms etc. for the current features I want to improve--and begin new separate task sessions if I want some new features for my application.

From my understanding it seems to be intended to start a new "Task" in your workspace when copilot has completed what was initially prompted. Hence, I think it would be nice with some UI that promotes this workflow. See example images below

Current UI:

My suggestion would be to include a button at the bottom of the side bar, which makes it possible to start new Tasks, straight from the sidebar, when copilot has implemented the initial task prompt:

Suggested UI-draft:

***When button is clicked, you get prompted to go to a new task page and start the process again, or something along those lines. ***

But I really love it so far! Kudos!

@MarzLars would you say you always want to be in control of when to start a new task like depicted? How would you feel if CW automatically started new tasks (as follow-ups to the original with proper UI affordances) if it thinks your request doesnt fit into the current?

[lehotskysamuel]

Any plans to integrate CW with pycharm / jetbrains IDEs?

[grandell1234]

I would appreciate if the Command part, has knowledge of the actual scripts, so you can have it install the necessary dependencies without having to specify them one-by-one.
