GitHub Copilot is a highly useful feature on the GitHub website, and it also allows opening multiple chat windows in VSCode, serving as a valuable supplement to Cursor. If Cursor were to forcibly disable this feature, I would have to resort to using the less capable older version of Cursor until the Copilot agent catches up, at which point I would no longer use Cursor.

Yes can confirm.

With minimal changes, gh copilot chat can now run on w-indsurf. If the disabling of copilot in cursor becomes a reality, I will switch to w-indsurf in the next subscription cycle

if they want to force disabling copilot then well i guess i’ll have to switch to this too

I’m seriously considering moving to another tool if Cursor doesn’t restore GH copilot functionality quickly. It feels very shady that it is the only vscode extension that doesn’t work.
On top of that, I subscribe to both and I like to have both in the same IDE mainly because Cursor has become almost unusable in the last releases and Copilot is the falback

@deanrie Is this a feature or a bug?

As copilot is the only extension that cannot be used in Cursor, it’s really disappointing for me to be inaccessible to Copilot.

Roll back to 0.45, no need to worry about the wallet being emptied by Max and 2x’s claude. Subscription has also been canceled.
