Microsoft is doubling down on its commitment to streamline the developer workflow with another thoughtful enhancement in Visual Studio. The latest update introduces subtle improvements aimed at reducing friction in everyday coding tasks—particularly during common operations like copy and paste.

Here’s how it works:

What it does: Automatically aligns pasted code with your document’s syntax and style, infers parameter changes, fixes minor errors, supports translation between natural and programming languages, and completes missing patterns.
How to use it: Paste code using Ctrl + V (works best with 3+ lines). Wait for the adaptive suggestion to appear, then press Tab to accept it.
How to enable it: Navigate to Tools > GitHub > Copilot > Editor, then turn on “Enable Adaptive Paste.”
