## Next Edit Suggestions (preview)

Inline suggestions are great at autocompleting a section of code. 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. Copilot Next Edit Suggestions (aka "Copilot NES") is this evolution.

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. Suggestions may span a single symbol, an entire line, or multiple lines, depending on the scope of the potential change.

You can quickly navigate suggested code changes with the `kbstyle(Tab)` key, saving you time to find the next relevant edit (no manual searching through files or references required). You can then accept a suggestion with the `kbstyle(Tab)` key again.
