Lately, we have seen chatGPT's macOS desktop app is now able to work and read output and our work in selective apps like vsCode and Terminal. The benefit of the same is that when we are working in this two, chatGPT can directly read the terminal output instead of us copying and pasting it to chatGPT for further analysis.

Is this also available and possible with copilot where copilot can directly read and access the terminal of vscode and also provide us necessary steps and actions to take?

Hi @aclrys ,

Copilot currently does not have the capability to directly read and access the terminal output in VS Code or other applications. It is designed to assist with code suggestions and completions within the editor environment. For analyzing terminal output or providing steps based on terminal activities, you would still need to manually copy the relevant information into the editor or directly into the chat for assistance. Copilot CLI doesn’t have the ability to read terminal output and automatically suggest actions.
