copilot.vim VS copilot-cmp

I use copilot in neovim[1]. It was remarkably simple to get installed. Highly recommend

[1]: https://github.com/github/copilot.vim

I use Plug 'tpope/vim-markdown' and markdown fenced codeblocks fairly extensively, and recently installed Copilot.vim.

Anyways. Yes, neovim has AI integration like copilot ( https://github.com/github/copilot.vim ) and chatgpt ( https://github.com/jackMort/ChatGPT.nvim )

I do think VSCode is a great tool and I recommend it frequently to people, but I still want to set the record straight here. Yes, vim is obviously limited in the sense that as a CLI app it doesn't draw it's own PDF or HTML windows, that's fair. But it can remote control your favorite PDF viewer or browser for roughly the same functionality. I'm currently writing my thesis using vimtex and it's quite smooth. And all the other stuff you mention is implemented quite competently by various plugins like vim-fugitive, coc.nvim, vimspector and copilot.vim.

There are numerous plugins available. For instance, this is a Copilot implementation: https://github.com/zbirenbaum/copilot-cmp. Or prettier: https://github.com/MunifTanjim/prettier.nvim. You might need just edit your configuration file.

I installed https://github.com/zbirenbaum/copilot-cmp and the same dev's copilot.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 🙏🏻

copilot-cmp?

copilot-cmp - 440, suggest, gives copilot suggestions as autocompletions in the completion window. I like this one less as cmp only completes after 4 characters written or so and Codex (AI behind copilot) gives some of its most powerful suggestions after a newline. Perhaps it can be comfortably combined, would love to hear from anyone doing so.

You could also use zbirenbaum/copilot-cmp to integrate copilot with cmp directly.

There are many related issues like https://github.com/zbirenbaum/copilot-cmp/issues/44

I am using Astronvim and i've installed both copilot.lua and copilot-cmp with the following config:local status_ok, copilot = pcall(require, "copilot")

NOTE: The only other way of using Copilot as a cmp source didn't work well for me either. Cmp panel was too cluttered and having to scroll through suggestions slowed me down in my workflow.
