[Feature request] VS Code Copilot Extension got more restricted than before #53

Description

Describe the solution you'd like

In previous versions, GitHub Copiot (at least, with Claude Sonnet 3.7 model) was able to do editing on the file system on its own withing the workspace's scope. Now this feature is not available anymore - at least Copilot/Sonnet does not do the edits immediately, rather it falls back to approving edits from the chat one-by-one.

It does not comfortable if the AI suggest edits in various files (typilcaly when I refactor a Helm Chart, or work on a feature on a HTML page that affects a HTML, CSS, JS files and related build stuffs). Also, since the chat is internally in markdown, the chat sometimes messes up if the recommended edit would mess up the markdown anyway.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I understand it is somewhat privacy decision. However, I would like to see the previous functionality either as a premium (paid) feature or having some privacy opt-in button to enable this. It greatly improved my experience with the application.

Additional context

I need to add: Copiot itself suggested you removed/restricted this feature, I had no chance to read through the newest changes yet, so if it is already working differently, I would really apprecciate if you could tell me how and why am I wrong.

Thanks for your great work anyway!
