Description
Problem
When I undo/discard changes made by GitHub Copilot Agent in VSCode, a confirmation popup appears asking if I'm sure. I want to be able to discard changes without this notification.
Current behavior
- Copilot Agent creates changes
- When I undo them (Ctrl+Z or discard), a "Keep/Undo" confirmation popup appears
- There's no setting to disable this popup
Desired behavior
- Add a setting (e.g.,
copilot.agent.showUndoConfirmation) to disable the confirmation popup - Allow users to discard Copilot Agent changes directly without notification
Why this is needed
LLMs tend to generate large amounts of content quickly, most of which is low-quality garbage that needs rewriting. This confirmation popup psychologically pushes users toward accepting Copilot's changes rather than discarding them, which accelerates and reinforces "vibe-coding".
When I intentionally undo Copilot's changes, I already know I want to discard them. The popup adds friction at exactly the moment I'm trying to resist accepting garbage output, making the workflow more annoying and counterproductive to thoughtful code review.
Related
This is separate from the auto-accept feature. I want to keep the ability to manually undo, just without the confirmation step.
