Editor defaults

This pack also turns off autocomplete and AI suggestions (Copilot, IntelliSense popups, snippets, tab completion) by default, so that learners type code themselves instead of having answers completed for them.

Suggestions are still available on demand with Ctrl+Space (⌃Space on Mac), and any of these defaults can be overridden in your own user settings.
