GitHub Copilot Lacks Accept All Option | Generated by AI
Got it. You’re using GitHub Copilot in VS Code, and you’re asking if there’s a way to accept all edits/suggestions at once, similar to Accept All Changes in an editor like Word.
Key Point
GitHub Copilot generates suggestions inline as ghost text. These suggestions are not actual edits until you explicitly accept them. Because of this design, there is no “accept all” button — you can only accept suggestions one at a time.
Options You Have
- Accept a suggestion:
- Press
TaborCtrl+Enter(depending on your keybinding) when the ghost text appears. - This applies the suggestion into the buffer.
- Press
- Accept word-by-word or line-by-line:
Tab→ Accept the entire suggestion.Ctrl+→(Windows/Linux) orOption+→(macOS) can accept parts of the suggestion step by step, if supported.
- If Copilot Chat (or Copilot Edits) is used:
- In Copilot Chat, when code edits are proposed (like a diff in the inline editor), you can accept/reject the whole file or each chunk separately.
- Currently, you must go chunk by chunk. There’s no “apply all chunks” option.
✅ Answer: In the GitHub Copilot VS Code extension itself, there is no command to “accept all edits” automatically. You need to accept suggestions one by one (ghost text) or chunk by chunk (if using Copilot Chat with code edits).
👉 Do you want me to show you a hotkey/command palette trick so you can accept longer Copilot suggestions faster (like applying the whole block with one key press), or are you specifically after “apply all diffs in a file” (which is only available for Copilot Edits in preview)?
