'Is there any way to disable GitHub Copilot comment suggestions?
I really like Copilot however its comment suggestions can be nonsensical and really distracting.
Is there any way to leave the code suggestions on but turn Copilot off whenever I'm editing/adding a comment amidst the code?

I figured out a workaround to this problem. It's not a perfect solution, but it works for me. See my post of the workaround here!

I was annoyed at this too, and failed to find a decent automated solution anywhere on the web. So, I wrote a VSCode extension that watches the TextMate scopes wherever your active selection is, and if it detects a scope that contains comment, temporarily disables Copilot's inline suggestions until your caret is anywhere without a scope that contains comment.
Or, in short, it makes Copilot get out of your way whenever you're writing a comment, and lets it do its magic everywhere else.
Hopefully you can find some use for it as well.
