NeoVim

copilot

To initialize and authenticate copilot:

Snacks.picker

• J scrolls the preview text down
• K scrolls the preview text up
• <C-v> opens in a new vertical split

vim-visual-multi

Basic usage:

• select words with <C-N> (like <C-d> in Sublime Text/VS Code)
• create cursors vertically with Ctrl-Down/Ctrl-Up
• select one character at a time with Shift-Arrows
• press n / N to get next/previous occurrence
• press [ / ] to select next/previous cursor
• press q to skip current and get next occurrence
• press Q to remove current cursor/selection
• start insert mode with i, a, I, or A

Two main modes:

• in cursor mode commands work as they would in normal mode
• in extend mode commands work as they would in visual mode
• press Tab to switch between «cursor» and «extend» mode

Most vim commands work as expected (motions, r to replace characters, ~ to change case, etc). Additionally you can:

• run macros/ex/normal commands at cursors
• align cursors
• transpose selections
• add patterns with regex, or from visual mode

And more... of course, you can enter insert mode and autocomplete will work.
