Neovim support needed

[Greatz08]

please if possible add neovim support for this awesome project. Many do use that idk how easy or tough it will be that is why i am saying "if possible" :-))

[sestinj]

@HakaishinShwet we will definitely do this at some point! Very very soon we will bring tab-autocomplete to JetBrains, which might set us up well to do tab-autocomplete in Neovim. The sidebar will also eventually support neovim, but this will be further out

[Greatz08]

@sestinj thankyou very much will be waiting for it :-))

[yitzhakbg]

Keep us informed

[Joseph-D-Bradshaw]

Looking forward to it! Currently using gen.nvim, but would be nice to have project context

[pkos98]

Agree, demand definitely exists!

[ulises-castro]

Same here!

[sestinj]

thanks all for sharing interest! as of this very moment, it's not a priority, but progress is measured in days or weeks right now, so that doesn't mean it won't happen "soon" depending on your definition! I'd like to share info here in case someone finds themselves interested in hacking at an autocomplete implementation:

the "Core Binary" in the binary folder can communicate either over TCP or stdin/stdout, and contains all of the endpoints needed for autocomplete. wiring this up would consist of figuring out how to display completions in Neovim, running the binary, and setting up the necessary communication protocol on the Neovim side, similarly to how we have in VsCodeMessenger.ts.

at this point it's pretty clear that Neovim will be the next IDE that we add support for, so stay tuned!

https://github.com/huggingface/llm.nvim Is this plugin similiar ? What about the differences between them?

[jorgerojas26]

It works, but I don't think it has project context and also I couldn't get Fill in the Middle working with Codestral.

I saw your awesome plugin in AllAboutAI Chris' video. Can't wait to test it in my primary text editor!

[qiuwei]

really looking forward to it!

Thank you.

[hrqmonteiro]

I would even be glad to pay for the development of this

[hacker-hackman]

guys don't comment there anymore please. because people subscribed to this topic would think it is a devs' team update and be disappointed as the result

Hey everyone!

I've discovered this really cool thing and decided to dive deep this weekend to create the missing piece for Neovim. It's been exciting work, but there's still more to do to get the plugin fully functional.

I could really use some extra hands on this project. If anyone's interested in contributing, it would be fantastic!

You can check out the current progress here: PR: https://github.com/continuedev/continue/pull/2098

For contribution and development guidelines, please take a look at: https://github.com/qtnx/continue/tree/dev/extensions/neovim/README.md

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Let's make this awesome for Neovim users!

This could be an alternative solution: https://github.com/yetone/avante.nvim sadly it only works with claude and openai for now

Then it isn't an alternative?

@hrqmonteiro Modifying a project to use other providers is trivial. Few lines of change in code or with some proxy like litellm you can pretend the API is the same as OpenAI's.
