Your Neovim AI sidekick
sidekick.nvim is a Neovim plugin that combines two distinct capabilities: Copilot LSP's Next Edit Suggestions (NES) and an embedded terminal for AI command-line tools. The NES component connects to the official copilot-language-server via Neovim's built-in LSP client, automatically fetching multi-line or whole-refactoring suggestions as you type, then displaying them as inline and block-level diffs with Treesitter-based syntax highlighting down to the word or character level; pressing Tab navigates hunks and applies them. The terminal component provides pre-configured access to Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex, Copilot CLI, and Grok directly inside Neovim, with context-aware prompts that inject file content, cursor position, and diagnostics, plus session persistence through tmux and zellij. File watching automatically reloads buffers when an AI tool modifies them on disk. Neovim 0.11.2 or newer is required, and the plugin is authored by folke, the creator of lazy.nvim and snacks.nvim.
