Description
I cannot express how much I hate the tab completion. Sigh.
This make this editor barely acceptable as a programming editor.
How is this a time saver?
For me, it is a major time waster (cannot use tab stop without having to undo half of the tab key press or wait and press escape for the eventual AI suggestion).
indenting this:
MUINT uiA;
To this
MUINT uiA;
Is not a matter of pressing tab anymore, no you neeed to press tab, wait, press escape, ad nauseum.
Please add a way to either use another completion key binding than a normal key press or something.

Research direction
Start with a repository search for devkit/copilot and the Tab-completion handling. Determine where configuration or keybindings are defined; done means users can disable the completion or choose a non-Tab completion key without losing normal indentation. No test or file is named, so the implementation path is not identified.
