Copilot setup for Emacs

This accompanies this blog post.

This is a ready-to-roll setup based on zerolfx/copilot.el. It customizes Copilot a bit to be more convenient (for me at least). Some features:

• Show or accept completion by pressing M-C-<return>
• Complete a single word by pressing M-C-<right>
• Complete a line by pressing M-C-<down>
• Next completion option: M-C-<next> (page down)
• Prev completion option: M-C-<prior> (page up)
• Deactivate Copilot for some modes by default
• Switch between auto / manual / absolutely no completion with M-C-<escape>
• Ctrl-g cancels completion but does not interfere otherwise with normal keybindings
• <right> (right arrow) accepts completion

Installation

# clone this repo
git clone https://github.com/rksm/copilot-emacsd.git
cd copilot-emacsd
git submodule update --init --recursive

You can start with this setup without interfering with your existing Emacs config by running:

emacs -Q -l path/to/copilot-emacsd/init.el
