3. l.nvim

   2 1 18 8.6 Lua

   

   Avante is much more active and polished at this point, but there's alternatives:

   https://github.com/baketnk/l.nvim (self-shill, docs overhaul needed)

   which was inspired by the original:

   https://github.com/yacineMTB/dingllm.nvim

   dingllm is very straightforward, you submit your entire selection/buffer and it streams out to the current position. mine is a bit more complex with configurations, context management and so on.

   The thing I always tell people is just roll your own. The docs are there, the LLM is there, use them. At the end of the day it's just an http call against text from your buffer to put text in a buffer.

4. dingllm.nvim

   3 4 847 6.5 Lua

   Yacine's LLM nvim scripts

5. RA.Aid

   4 9 1,401 9.9 Python

   Develop software autonomously.

   

   If you want something like composer but want to stay fully FOSS/CLI oriented, check out https://github.com/ai-christianson/RA.Aid

6. mini.surround

   5 4 439 6.9 Lua

   Neovim Lua plugin with fast and feature-rich surround actions. Part of 'mini.nvim' library.

   

   Zed has the least uncanny valley of any vim emulation that I've tried.

   Switching is not feasible for me until they get mini.surround[0] and Flash.nvim[1], particularly Flash's treesitter mode (see screenshot of [1] to get an idea).

   They work particularly well together to select semantically meaningful chunks of code and add/remove/change surrounding parens/braces/curlies/etc.

7. flash.nvim

   Navigate your code with search labels, enhanced character motions and Treesitter integration

8. zed

   7 143 55,828 10.0 Rust

   Code at the speed of thought – Zed is a high-performance, multiplayer code editor from the creators of Atom and Tree-sitter.

   

   Just last week some hero claimed to be adding helix keybindings to zed (https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/4642#issuecomme...). Golly I hope they succeed.
