Code Suggestions generates functions and code snippets based on the context provided.
1. To accept a suggestion, press <kbd>Tab</kbd>. To reject a suggestion, press <kbd>Esc</kbd>.
1. To ignore a suggestion, keep typing as you usually would.
1. When you receive a suggestion, you can do any of the following:
- To accept a suggestion, press <kbd>Tab</kbd>.
- To accept a partial suggestion, press either <kbd>Control</kbd>+<kbd>Right arrow</kbd> or <kbd>Command</kbd>+<kbd>Right arrow</kbd>.
- To reject a suggestion, press <kbd>Esc</kbd>.
- To ignore a suggestion, keep typing as you usually would.
AI is non-deterministic, so you may not get the same suggestion every time with the same input.
To generate quality code, write clear, descriptive, specific tasks.

Code Suggestions is powered by a generative AI model.
- For code completion, suggestions are usually low latency and take less than one second.
- For code generation, algorithms or large code blocks might take more than five seconds to generate.
Your personal access token enables a secure API connection to GitLab.com or to your GitLab instance.
This API connection securely transmits a context window from your IDE/editor to the [GitLab AI Gateway](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/modelops/applied-ml/code-suggestions/ai-assist), a GitLab hosted service. The [gateway](../../../../development/ai_architecture.md) calls the large language model APIs, and then the generated suggestion is transmitted back to your IDE/editor.
- For code completion, suggestions are usually low latency.
- For code generation, algorithms or large code blocks might take more than 10 seconds to generate.
### Streaming
Streaming of Code Generation responses is supported in VS Code, leading to faster average response times.
