I was recently watching a tsoding stream when he was singing huge praises for the compilation mode in emacs, so I created a plug in to do essentially the same thing in neovim. Feel free to test it and share feedback.

This is parrot.nvim, the ultimate stochastic parrot to support your text editing inside Neovim.

Frank Röder started this repository because a perplexity subscription provides $5 of API credits every month for free. Instead of letting them go to waste, he modified his favorite GPT plugin, gp.nvim, to meet his needs - a new Neovim plugin was born! 🔥

Unlike gp.nvim, parrot.nvim prioritizes a seamless out-of-the-box experience by simplifying functionality and focusing solely on text generation, excluding the integration of DALLE and Whisper.

Features

• Persistent conversations as markdown files stored within the Neovim standard path or a user-defined location
• Custom hooks for inline text editing with predefined prompts
• Support for multiple providers:
  • Anthropic API
  • perplexity.ai API
  • OpenAI API
  • Local and offline serving via ollama
• Custom agent definitions to determine specific prompt and API parameter combinations, similar to GPTs
• Flexible support for providing API credentials from various sources, such as environment variables, bash commands, and your favorite password manager CLI

I decided I was ready to move on from distributions like LunarVim and based my config on kickstart.nvim. I've fixed it up a lot with additional stuff for me and I'm mostly pretty happy with it. The default keymappings aren't my favorite though. No shade on the kickstart team, they just don't fit the way I think.

I'm trying to decide what a good organization strategy might be. What keymappings strategies are out there to get some organization or intuitive groupings?

Most of you might know already but I just found out about this today because I needed it. I had thought there's just no way to use escape in norm commands. So I had this file with list of items which were mostly separated by newlines but some of them were separated by spaces so I had to clean it up. It looked something like this:

begin A
begin B begin C
begin D
begin E begin F begin G
begin H

and I needed it to be like this:

begin A
begin B
begin C
begin D
begin E
begin F
begin G
begin H

The beginning of every item was the same string of characters which was helpful. So I had an idea but it required the use of escape in a norm command. I was about to think of some other way that doesn't require escape but then decided to google it and find out if there was a way to use escape. To my surprise it was possible! Why I haven't thought of this before? So this is what I came up with:

:g/.*begin/norm /begin^[hr^M

So the ^[ is an escape and you get it with C-v Esc. Simple as that. The command to organize my list isn't perfect though as it has to be run few times to go through every item but it was enough for my purposes.

TL;DR: Press C-v Esc in command line mode to get escape.

out of curiousity, since I feel like most of the time I touch any vi derivative it’s because I need a text editor on a command line, not because I really really wanna use it

I’ve tried all the surround plugins but what I really want is just the simple flow of: make a selection -> press “, ( etc to surround. Is that not possible with vim?
