Looking for recommended Copilot configuration for live pair-programming in VS Code that minimizes disruptive completions while still accelerating typing.

Disable automatic inline/ghost suggestions so completions don’t appear while you’re talking. Set suggestion length to short/single-line, increase suggestion delay (~300–500 ms), and require explicit accept (Tab only; disable Enter-accept). Use manual triggers or the Copilot pane for multi-line proposals. Mute suggestions during active discussion and re-enable when coding resumes.
