Will this completion model be coming to copilot.vim as well?

I'm not sure what the official story will be but with the latest version of Copilot.vim you should be able to access it. Add this to your vimrc:

let g:copilot_settings = #{selectedCompletionModel: 'gpt-4o-copilot'}

Or init.lua:

vim.g.copilot_settings = { selectedCompletionModel = 'gpt-4o-copilot' }

I tried this setting and copilot started throwing errors in the log:

[2025-02-22 22:40:51] [ERROR] [default] Failed to fetch models from CAPI { status: 400, statusText: '' }
[2025-02-22 22:40:51] [ERROR] [default] User selected model gpt-4o-copilot is not in the list of generic models: , falling back to default model.

If the answer is it's not officially supported, all good, just wanted to call this out in case it's unexpected.

Not bad, but not great. When can we have something at the level of Cursor tab feature? Maybe you should give it a try and you will see what I mean. If for example I change var="1.2.3" to var="1.2.4" then go in a next file where var="1.2.3", Cursor will just suggest me to TAB straight to it, then an other TAB to make the change and it will become var="1.2.4". Copilot, doesn't do that, not even the latest version.

Well this initiative is best and helps the community. Maybe you should give it a try and you will see what I mean. If for example I change var="1.2.3" to var="1.2.4" then go in a next file where var="1.2.3. Here Copilot, doesn't do that, not even the latest version.
