How to use the AI Assistant?

[blueberryscone238]

I don't have any API key or helper program installed. BTW, I want to report that the name is too long so it doesn't fit the dropdown list.

p/s: I also can't find Copilot on the list.

Read the docs?.

Yeah, for small resolutions might be problematic, I will improve it soon.

All the models with provider Github are Copilot, they all start with Github in the name.

It has nothing to do with my screen’s resolution. You set the width of the dropdown list to a fixed size that is too small. The AI names are too long and don’t fit within this fixed size, which causes a horizontal scroll bar to appear. This issue will be the same on larger screens. The fact is, there is plenty of space left on my screen, only the dropdown doesn’t use it.

I don't know if my configuration on #658 and #627 affect it or not, though.

I have enlarged the size of the scrollbars.

Ehhh no. It's a porcentage of the width of the tab. It has everything to do with the tab width and the font size.

Ex:

I still use the same configuration as on #658. Can you reproduce it on your system?

[SpartanJ]

That configuration will worsen the issue due to the width and height of the scrollbars but with a bigger resolution won't be a problem (it will just look ugly), huge scrollbars everywhere are problematic and a bad idea but that's your decision.

My recommendation is to add these CSS rules to your style:

dropdownlist {
	hscroll-mode: off;
}

dropdownlist::listbox::item {
	font-size: 9px;
}

I only want the scroll bars of the text document area to be enlarged. But I don't know CSS. I simply used whatever you gave me in #627.

It's my bad that I didn't make it clear that I only want the scroll bars of the text document area to be enlarged.

Replace those rules with something like:

CodeEditor > ScrollBar {
	min-width: 24dp;
	min-height: 24dp;
}

CodeEditor ScrollBar::hback {
	min-height: 20dp;
}

CodeEditor ScrollBar::vback {
	min-width: 20dp;
}

CodeEditor ScrollBar::hbutton {
	min-height: 20dp;
}

CodeEditor ScrollBar::vbutton {
	min-width: 20dp;
}

The Copilot I use on the browser at copilot.microsoft.com doesn't require me any API key or helper program. But the models with provider Github all telling me that I need authentication.

BTW, what is the equivalent to Quick response on copilot.microsoft.com?

I don't think the Copilot on copilot.microsoft.com and Github Copilot are the same thing.

For example, copilot.microsoft.com has Smart (GPT-5). I don't use it, though. For me, Quick response is enough.

That's how things work. All LLM providers require API keys if you want to consume them from... API. That's common practice. There are no existing providers without this requirement. You need to generate an API, but also, many providers give free API Keys: Google Gemini, Github Copilot, Anthropic, OpenRouter. Or you can use local models if your hardware is good enough, ecode supports Ollama and LMStudio.

Basically pick any model with no reasoning. It will depend on what provider are you using. Assuming Github Copilo you can pick GPT-4.1.
