I use notebooks the whole time, normally in vs-code and with github copilot setup.

I found it quite painful to point it to a couple of environments I have, and confusing how i get it pointing to my gpt4 api keys. Once I did these two I was not sure how to prompt rather than typing a command.

Good luck with this, don't mean this in a critical way, just trying to give some feedback of what I think when I first try it.

I also edit my notebooks in vscode. I wouldn't switch to something that doesn't support GitHub copilot, unless completions are much better.
Thanks for your feedback! I'm looking into this. I'd also really like copilot here.
I'll work on making them easier to configure.

At the moment you press `g` (for generate) while in command-mode to create a "prompt cell". I'll think of ways to make this more obvious.

Appreciate you spending the time to try it out and share your feedback.

Yeah vscode also finds the virtualenv from the current project automatically whihc is probably the biggest thing for me that stops me for using this, alongside copilot support
