I find myself in the Python REPL a lot. I open up the REPL to play with an idea, to use Python as a calculator or quick and dirty text parsing tool, to record a screencast, to come up with a code example for an article, and (most importantly for me) to teach Python. My Python courses and workshops are based largely around writing code together to guess how something works, try it out, and repeat.
While experimenting with Copilot in VS Code, I must have hit a special key combo or held my mouth wrong because VS Code unexplainedly took over my entire screen with no system tray or even the icons to shrink / full size / close at the top of the screen. I don't want to repeat this experience. Can anyone suggest how I can avoid it (other than not use VS Code)?
