copilot.lua VS better-escape.nvim

copilot.lua - copilot plugin written in lua

So I'm using zbirenbaum/copilot.lua and its cmp extension and it's not too shabby, but I'm having issues with the completion menu hiding the signature help popup (I'm using noice for that). Any hints on how to make signature help not fight with Copilot is highly appreciated 🙏🏻

Many plugins require you to also set them up before you can use them. make sure to refer to the documentation. Here is a link to the documentation for this copilot extension, which requires us to do something before the plugin actually works.

That functionality is present and was merged with https://github.com/zbirenbaum/copilot.lua/pull/127 , but the real question was how to do this via LazyVim's plugin loading or as some parameter to copilot.lua. I landed on just adding "vim.cmd(":Copilot disable")" to .config/nvim/init.lua. That turns it off globally after loading and is good enough until I find something more elegant. (I'm new to LazyVim (and neovim) and I'm trying to do it "the right way", but maybe I'm making it more complicated than it needs to be.

Alternative if you’re using neovim is to use https://github.com/zbirenbaum/copilot.lua

I'm using copilot-lua for my copilot client, and here's what I got after some quick testing

copilot.lua - 773, suggest, lua rewrite of copilot.vim, still hopping between the .vim and .lua to figure out if this one is just suggesting less but so far I like it a bit better.

Well if you're using the Tpope version, not sure what his set options were, but you should check out https://github.com/zbirenbaum/copilot.lua

For me it's better-escape.nvim -> Escape from insert mode without delay when typing

max397574/better-escape.nvim - i use jk/kj for insert mode so this makes it smoother

I'm trying to install https://github.com/max397574/better-escape.nvim in a separate file in .config/nvim/lua/plugins.

I just tested a probably hacky and unintentional way around this, but better-escape lets you remap sequences in i-mode to do kinda whatever. In the 'keys' key of the config table, it defaults to '' but I changed it to ':wi' and it seems to work. Don't want to be the person that tells you to rely on this for some big project without serious testing though.

I could use better-escape.nvim so that there's less probability of clashing. Not sure how practical so that it's 100% no clashing. I never have any clashes with jk.

Maybe try the better escape plugin and set the escape key in that plugin to ":w!".

I like using better-escape.nvim as it removes the delay that you get with using a mapping. You can certainly use a mapping for it, but it's much more comfortable with this plugin.

I also use "jk", like a tons of people I think, additionally I installed this little plugin that make the experience veeeery smooth: better-escape
