• 🏃 Experiment to enable the Jupytext alternative Notebook format in NES
  • Enable this
• Telemetry: survival rate
  • Compare survival/telemetry for regular NES vs regular notebook cells vs unified notebook
• Tests (scenarios for cross cell NES, etc),
• Improve Trigger Events for cross cell NES
  • Better triggers for NES: alt format gives us a better "Cursor_move" event, what else?)
• Explore enabling suggestions for other cells
  • we filter them out today, and they are cached
  • do we have other ways to suggest actions to other cells
    • Can we trigger nes command on other cells
    • What do we need to make this happen for other cells?
    • Can we implement short term solutions?
• Improvements authoring stests for notebooks
  • Find whats missing and add it
• Improve issue reporting for notebooks
  • Existing command works well
  • Added a new command to report with required data as well
• Golden Scenarios for cross cell NES https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-internalbacklog/issues/5701

Add the following setting

"github.copilot.chat.advanced.notebook.alternativeNESFormat.enabled": true,
"github.copilot.chat.notebook.enhancedNextEditSuggestions.enabled":true

When/How to display/trigger NES in other cells

• Display Go To Next Edit: User in Cell 1 and there are suggested changes in Cell 2
• Should we display NES in cells after user edits a cell and runs it and then advances to the next cell
  • Users workflow is make changes to cell 1, run this
  • Should we wait till user sets focus to next cell in order to trigger NES for the next cell?
  • Can we instead proactively let user know that there are possible changes in next cell?
• Auto trigger NES completions when user sets focus to next cell after having modified another cell in same doc
  • Assume user changes cell 1
    • User sets focus or uses down arrow to go to next cell
    • We should trigger NES in this next cell
  • Assume user changes cell 1, next runs the cell
    • User keeps running the cell and tweaking cell 1, but never updates any other text document
    • After 30 minutes user goes to cell 10
    • We should trigger NES as user was still editing this notebook & didn't modify anything else in the interim
