GitHub Copilot code completions are great at autocompleting a section of code currently being edited. But since most coding activity is editing existing code, it's a natural evolution of Copilot completions to also help with edits, both at the cursor and further away. Edits are often not made in isolation - there's a logical flow of what edits need to be made in different scenarios.

GitHub Copilot code completions are great at autocomplete, providing the predictive ability to suggest the code that was in your head without you even having to ask for it. But since most coding activity is editing existing code, it's a natural evolution of completions to also help with edits. Edits are often not made in isolation - there's a logical flow of what edits need to be made as you iterate on your project - and they can happen both at your current cursor location and further away.

Based on the edits you're making, NES both predicts the location of the next edit you'll want to make and what that edit should be. NES helps you stay in the flow, suggesting future changes relevant to your current work, and you can simply `kbstyle(Tab)` to quickly navigate and accept Copilot's suggestions.
