copilot.vim VS copilot.lua

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.

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
