Copilot in typescript-ts-mode ignores copilot-indentation-alist

[aguynamedben]

I use typescript-ts-mode for TypeScript (the tree-sitter version, built in to Emacs) and I can't get copilot-indentation-alist working correctly.

Here's what I see:

On the left, you can see indentation is not 2 spaces, even though on the right typescript-ts-mode-indent-offset is 2.

I noticed copilot-indentation-alist has these entries by default:

 (typescript-mode typescript-indent-level)
 (typescript-ts-base-mode typescript-ts-mode-indent-offset)

So I tried a few things in my config:

(add-to-list 'copilot-indentation-alist '(typescript-ts-mode typescript-ts-mode-indent-offset))
(add-to-list 'copilot-indentation-alist '(typescript-ts-mode typescript-ts-mode-indent-offset))
(add-to-list 'copilot-indentation-alist '(typescript-ts-mode 2))

but none of those worked. I still go too much indentation.

js-ts-mode seems to respect indentation correctly. Is there some kind of hook or variable that might not be right to support typescript-ts-mode? I noticed

Is there some kind of hook I'd need to use? The current stock alist tries setting typescript-ts-base-mode, but it seems to not be working.

🙏 Thank you for providing this package to the community. It's really helping me avoid VS Code :D

Consider adding your custom indentation setting to the front of the copilot-indentation-alist.
