Inline Suggestions

Pause typing in any writer field and Copilot suggests a continuation – press ⇥ to accept. Enabled by default for all writer fields – no configuration required.

How It Works

After a brief pause in typing (1 second by default), Copilot analyzes your current text and suggests a completion. The suggestion appears as ghost text in a subtle gray color after your cursor. Press ⇥ (Tab) to accept it, Esc to dismiss it – or just keep typing.

fields:
  text:
    type: writer
    marks:
      - bold
      - italic
      # Append the Copilot toolbar button
      - copilot
      # Enable inline suggestions
      - copilot-suggestions

Keyboard Shortcuts

Completion Model

Inline suggestions use a separate, faster model, set per provider as completionModel – see Default Models for each provider's default.

Disabling Automatic Suggestions

To stop ghost text from appearing on its own in all writer fields:

return [
    'johannschopplich.copilot' => [
        'completion' => false
    ]
];

The manual trigger keeps working – press , whenever you do want a suggestion. To take inline suggestions out of a field altogether, leave the copilot-suggestions mark out of its blueprint.

Customizing Debounce Timing

The debounce controls how long Copilot waits after you stop typing before suggesting a completion. Customize the debounce duration (in milliseconds) in your configuration:

return [
    'johannschopplich.copilot' => [
        'completion' => [
            'debounce' => 1500 // Wait 1.5 seconds
        ]
    ]
];
