Stop sticking copilot junk everywhere.

[bstableynv5]

Every update some new corner of VSCode gets another button for copilot. Then I have to figure out how to hide it. I have copilot turned off as much as is possible in my settings. If copilot is "off" completely, all the copilot buttons should just be hidden everywhere since they should all be useless.

Just today, the update added another new button in the commit messages entry.

@bstableynv5, sorry about that. This button should appear if you have hidden Copilot. Could you please share the setting that you have enabled to turn off Copilot? Thanks!

There is no setting at the moment, but this command:

And it should hide everything.

@lszomoru The copilot related settings I have are:

    "github.copilot.enabled": false,
    "github.copilot.editor.enableCodeActions": false,
    "github.copilot.nextEditSuggestions.enabled": false,
    "chat.commandCenter.enabled": false,
    "chat.agent.enabled": false,

The first 3 became inactive (dim text) at some point. Found on some reddit thread. If there are other settings I can use to disable all chat/llm/AI stuff, I'd love to know about them. My wish would be for a single setting like chat.enabled: false that would eliminate all the AI thing from vscode in one stroke.

@bstableynv5, the recommended way to completely hide Copilot is the menu item mentioned in https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/251334#issuecomment-2970274948

@lszomoru Thank you. Then there isn't a JSON config analog of that command? I hope one will be added soon that disables and hides all chat/AI related things.

There is not one at the moment, and I will defer to @bpasero as he owns the "Hide Copilot" action.
