    I will not disagree with this statement because I don’t have a way to test inshellisense right now. Could you (or anyone with a working Node + NPM installation) please install inshellisense and post the actual numbers? Perhaps using a tool like hyperfine (https://github.com/sharkdp/hyperfine).

  • shell-bling-ubuntu

    A few scripts to be run on a fresh-off-the-presses Ubuntu VM, in order to get its shell nice 'n purdy.

  • Alternatively, if you simply wish to occasionally bring Copilot into your shell, you should know that Ctrl+X Ctrl+E (on bash) / Alt+E (on fish) will open your current shell line up in $EDITOR, which you may set to Vim or Neovim.

    From there, :wq will drop the text back into your command line. If you have Copilot set up in either of those, then it will also work here.

    I know from working on https://github.com/hiAndrewQuinn/shell-bling-ubuntu that Neovim's LazyVim setup now supports Copilot out of the box now. I never had much trouble setting up the Vim plugin either. YMMV.
