What
Install GitHub Copilot in Neovim and map custom keybindings for accepting and cycling suggestions.
Why
The official copilot.vim plugin ships with Tab-based defaults that conflict with snippet expanders in NvChad. Setting copilot_assume_mapped = true and binding <C-j>/<C-k>/<C-l> gives you explicit control over suggestion navigation.
How
1. Install plugin (with packer/vim-plug):
use { "github/copilot.vim" }
2. Add to init.lua:
-- Prevent default mappings
vim.g.copilot_assume_mapped = true
-- Custom keybindings
vim.keymap.set("i", "<C-j>", "<Plug>(copilot-next)", { nowait = true })
vim.keymap.set("i", "<C-k>", "<Plug>(copilot-previous)", { nowait = true })
vim.keymap.set("i", "<C-l>", "<Plug>(copilot-suggest)", { nowait = true })
