[Copilot NES] Action `editor.action.inlineSuggest.triggerInlineEditExplicit` is labeled `Trigger Next Edit Suggestion`

Version Information

• Copilot Extension Version: 1.344.0
• VS Code Version: 1.102.1
• Feature: Next Edit Suggestions

Issue Description

Next Edit Suggestions are frustratingly spotty. They often simply stop after one or two suggestions. I was therefore looking for a keybind that forces a suggestion to be made. Browsing the keybinds in VSCode, I had found one labeled "Trigger Next Edit Suggestion". Upon setting a keybind, however, I can see that the action connected to this label is actually editor.action.inlineSuggest.triggerInlineEditExplicit, which is obviously not a Next Edit Suggestion. Pressing the keybind does indeed trigger an in-line suggestion, and not a Next Edit Suggestion.

Thank you for filing and sharing your feedback. I think we could track in #256335 - I'll defer to what @hediet prefers!

Thanks. I did in fact also get the "No inline edit is available." notification. This is both confusing, and unfortunate if accurate; as a layman, I don't consider NES to be "in-line suggestions" (those are, to me, the regular code completion suggestions), as it is often not on the same line. If indeed only the current line is considered for a NES, then the feature doesn't appear very useful, as I want to use NES to jump to whatever the extension believes to be the next sensible line to edit.

NES are frustrating to use as it is, but I enjoy them very much when they do work. A feature like the one I describe above would be much more useful.
