Next edit suggestions (NES) is now available in public preview for JetBrains IDEs. With NES, Copilot extends its capabilities to editing your existing code, proactively suggesting improvements and refinements as you work, making your coding experience more efficient and helping you maintain cleaner, more consistent codebases.

✨ What’s new

NES identifies opportunities to improve, update, or fix your existing code as you work. Inline edit indicators automatically appear, showing available suggestions. Simply hover over the suggested text to view details, preview changes, and apply them directly.

Suggestions adapt to your needs, ranging from single symbols to multiple lines. Whether catching typos, adjusting logic, refactoring code, or propagating variable name changes, NES understands your edits and offers intelligent follow-up improvements without manual file searching.

🛠 Try it out

  1. Enable NES in your JetBrains IDE: Go to Settings → GitHub Copilot → Completions → Check Enable Next Edit Suggestions(NES).
  2. Start coding: No special commands are needed. NES suggestions appear automatically.
