🤖 Vim Codex
An AI plugin that does the work for you.
This is a simple plugin for Vim that will allow you to use OpenAI Codex. To use this plugin you need to get access to OpenAI's Codex API.
Installation
The easiest way to install the plugin is to install it as a bundle. For example, using Pathogen:
-
Get and install pathogen.vim. You can skip this step if you already have it installed.
-
cd ~/.vim/bundle -
git clone [email protected]:tom-doerr/vim_codex.git
Bundle installs are known to work fine also when using Vundle. Other bundle managers are expected to work as well.
After installing the plugin, you need to install the openai package::
pip3 install openai
After running :CreateCompletion once, the file ~/.config/openaiapirc is created where you need to enter your OpenAI authentication information.
You can find your authentication information on the website.
Usage
The plugin provides a CreateCompletion command which you can call by default using the mapping
<Leader>co.
You can give the CreateCompletion command the number of tokens it should produce as an argument, e.g. CreateCompletion 1000.
If you want to just complete the current line, run CreateCompletionLine.
To complete the current text from insert and normal mode using Ctrl+x, you can add the following lines to your .vimrc::
nnoremap <C-x> :CreateCompletion<CR>
inoremap <C-x> <Esc>li<C-g>u<Esc>l:CreateCompletion<CR>
Updating
Manually
In order to update the plugin, go to its bundle directory and use Git to update it:
-
cd ~/.vim/bundle/vim_codex -
git pull
With Vundle
Use the :BundleUpdate command provided by Vundle, for example invoking
Vim like this::
% vim +BundleUpdate
