In addition to IntelliSense, Visual Studio offers AI-powered code completions through GitHub Copilot. Copilot inline suggestions work alongside IntelliSense to provide whole-line and multi-line completions. When IntelliSense is active, Copilot completions are temporarily suppressed so you can focus on the IntelliSense list. Once you dismiss or commit the IntelliSense selection, Copilot completions resume automatically. To learn more, see [Get started with GitHub Copilot completions](visual-studio-github-copilot-extension.md).

## List Members
3242

3343
A list of valid members from a type or namespace appears after you type a trigger character, such as a period (`.`) in managed code or `::` in C++. If you continue typing characters, the list filters to include only the members that begin with those characters or where the beginning of *any* word within the name starts with those characters. IntelliSense also performs *camel case* matching, so you can type just the first letter of each camel-cased word in the member name to see the matches.

### IntelliSense and Copilot completion behavior
174+
175+
When IntelliSense is active (for example, when the member list or parameter info appears), Copilot completions are temporarily suppressed so you can focus on the IntelliSense list without distraction. Once you dismiss or commit the IntelliSense selection, Copilot completions resume automatically. This is the default behavior and requires no configuration.
