Disable Github copilot suggestion icon next to compiler errors in Xcode editor?

I'm an iOS developer. On the latest version of Github Copilot for Xcode (0.43.0), there is a clickable icon that appears at the end of a line that has flagged a compiler error. This is annoying me because most of the time, errors are easily fixable manually based on the compiler feedback, and also require a change at the end of the line which is where the icon appears (like adding a missing property access to get the expected type, providing a default value for optionals, etc.). I keep clicking it by accident and opening up an AI-generated response for how to fix simple errors.

After some searching I do not see any way to disable this - this happens even with my preference for completions set to OFF.

Can you move this icon to appear at the far left of the line in the editor so that it is out of the way, rather than at the end? Improving the ability to fine-tune auto completion preferences in the Settings page for Xcode Copilot would also be appreciated.

In this example, I have added a new associated value to a case in an enum used for logging analytics events. I simply want to add this associated value to the call site, but when I click move my cursor there I am opening the Copilot chat window.

I would also like the option to turn this off - for me it's more of a nuisance than helpful.

• It seems like it makes typing less responsive (at least I notice typing being way worse when Copilot is active).
• I almost never want to click that icon, but I do want to click Xcode's error icon. Copilot's icon appears with some delay, and sometimes above Xcode's error icon, so it's easy to click by accident.
• When clicking the icon accidentally, my muscle memory tells me to just close the window, but then copilot keeps going in the background and some seconds later starts making edits to the file, which is very distracting and sometimes non-trivial to undo.

same. (Commenting here to get notified about this). I've sunk too much time to try to get this to be disabled.

v0.44.0 changed this - I still think it would be better on the far left, or at least more out of the way, but it is at least better than 0.43.0.
