GitHub Copilot Adds Configurable Suggestion Eagerness

This is a smart UX correction: autocomplete should adapt to a developer’s rhythm instead of imposing one interruption policy. The unified model makes that personalization more meaningful because eagerness changes when Copilot speaks, not which disconnected model handles the request.

• –Low should favor uninterrupted typing; High suits developers who want more proactive edits, while Medium is the practical default.
• –One model can choose between ghost text, nearby rewrites, farther edits, cross-file changes, or no suggestion.
• –Online testing showed a 10.1% reduction in dismissals without statistically significant regressions in key metrics.
• –The real win is user agency: higher eagerness may improve discovery, but lower eagerness protects focus and reduces cognitive load.
