Gp (GPT prompt) plugin for Neovim

Gp.nvim provides you ChatGPT like sessions and instructable text/code operations in your favorite editor.

5 minute demo from December 2023

Goals and Features

The goal is to extend Neovim with the power of GPT models in a simple unobtrusive extensible way.
Trying to keep things as native as possible - reusing and integrating well with the natural features of (Neo)vim.

Streaming responses
- no spinner wheel and waiting for the full answer
- response generation can be canceled half way through
- properly working undo (response can be undone with a single u)
Infinitely extensible via hook functions specified as part of the config
- hooks have access to everything in the plugin and are automatically registered as commands
- see Configuration and Extend functionality sections for details
Minimum dependencies (neovim, curl, grep and optionally sox)
- zero dependencies on other lua plugins to minimize chance of breakage
ChatGPT like sessions
- just good old neovim buffers formated as markdown with autosave and few buffer bound shortcuts
- last chat also quickly accessible via toggable popup window
- chat finder - management popup for searching, previewing, deleting and opening chat sessions
Instructable text/code operations
- templating mechanism to combine user instructions, selections etc into the gpt query
- multimodal - same command works for normal/insert mode, with selection or a range
- many possible output targets - rewrite, prepend, append, new buffer, popup
- non interactive command mode available for common repetitive tasks implementable as simple hooks
  (explain something in a popup window, write unit tests for selected code into a new buffer,
  finish selected code based on comments in it, etc.)
- custom instructions per repository with .gp.md file
  (instruct gpt to generate code using certain libs, packages, conventions and so on)
Speech to text support
- a mouth is 2-4x faster than fingers when it comes to outputting words - use it where it makes sense
  (dicating comments and notes, asking gpt questions, giving instructions for code operations, ..)

Install

1. Install the plugin with your preferred package manager:

-- lazy.nvim
{
	"robitx/gp.nvim",
	config = function()
		require("gp").setup()

		-- or setup with your own config (see Install > Configuration in Readme)
		-- require("gp").setup(config)

        	-- shortcuts might be setup here (see Usage > Shortcuts in Readme)
	end,
}

-- packer.nvim
use({
    "robitx/gp.nvim",
    config = function()
        require("gp").setup()

	-- or setup with your own config (see Install > Configuration in Readme)
	-- require("gp").setup(config)

        -- shortcuts might be setup here (see Usage > Shortcuts in Readme)
    end,
})

2. OpenAI API key

Make sure you have OpenAI API key. Get one here and use it in the config. Also consider setting up usage limits so you won't get suprised at the end of the month.

The OpenAI API key can be passed to the plugin in multiple ways:

set up env variable OPENAI_API_KEY which the plugin tries to read by default and fills into openai_api_key automatically
set up any env name you want and read it via openai_api_key = os.getenv("env_name.."),
insert the key directly into the config openai_api_key: "sk-...", (least safe from security standpoint)
read the key from a file openai_api_key = { "cat", "path_to/openai_api_key" },
use cli command from your password manager (like 1Password or Bitwarden) by passing a list (command + attributes) into the config field openai_api_key = { "bw", "get", "password", "OPENAI_API_KEY" },, this is the most secure way, but managers are often take a second or two (Gp runs the command asynchronously to avoid blocking neovim)

3. Dependencies

The core plugin only needs curl installed to make calls to OpenAI API and grep for ChatFinder. So Linux, BSD and Mac OS should be covered.

Voice commands (:GpWhisper*) depend on SoX (Sound eXchange) to handle audio recording and processing:

Mac OS: brew install sox
Ubuntu/Debian: apt-get install sox libsox-fmt-mp3
Arch Linux: pacman -S sox
Redhat/CentOS: yum install sox
NixOS: nix-env -i sox

4. Configuration

Bellow are the default values, but I suggest starting with minimal config possible (just openai_api_key if you don't have OPENAI_API_KEY env set up). Defaults change over time to improve things, options might get deprecated and so on - it's better to change only things where the default doesn't fit your needs.

Usage

Commands

Have ChatGPT experience directly in neovim:
- :GpChatNew - open fresh chat in the current window
  (either empty or with the visual selection or specified range as a context)
- :GpChatPaste - paste the selection or specified range to the latest chat (simplifies adding code from multiple files into a single chat buffer)
- :GpChatToggle - open chat in toggleable popup window
  (the last active chat or a fresh one with selection or a range as a context)
- :GpChatFinder - open a dialog to search through chats
- :GpChatRespond - request new gpt response for the current chat
- :GpChatRespond N - request new gpt response with only last N messages as a context
  (using everything from the end up to Nth instance of 🗨:.. => N=1 is like asking a question in a new chat)
- :GpChatDelete - delete the current chat
when calling :GpChatNew or :GpChatPaste and GpChatToggle you can also specify where to display chat using subcommands:
Ask GPT and get response to the specified output:
- :GpRewrite - answer replaces the current line, visual selection or range
- :GpAppend - answers after the current line, visual selection or range
- :GpPrepend - answers before the current line, selection or range
- :GpEnew - answers into a new buffer in the current window
- :GpNew - answers into new horizontal split window
- :GpVnew - answers into new vertical split window
- :GpTabnew - answers into new tab
- :GpPopup - answers into pop up window
- :GpImplement - default example hook command for finishing the code
  based on comments provided in visual selection or specified range
all these command work either:
- as pure user commands without any other context in normal/insert mode
- with current selection (using whole lines) as a context in visual/Visual mode
- with specified range (such as % for the entire current buffer => :%GpRewrite)
Provide custom context per repository with:GpContext:
- opens .gp.md file for given repository in toggable window
- if used with selection/range it appends it to the context file
- supports display targeting subcommands just like GpChatNew
- see Custom instructions section
Switch between configured agents (model + persona):
- :GpNextAgent - cycle between available agents
- :GpAgent - display currently used agents for chat and command instructions
- :GpAgent XY - choose new agent based on its name
commands are context aware (they switch chat or command agent based on the current buffer)
Voice commands transcribed by Whisper API:
- :GpWhisper - transcription replaces the current line, visual selection or range in the current buffer (use your mouth to ask a question in a chat buffer instead of writing it by hand, dictate some comments for the code, notes or even your next novel)
  for the rest of the whisper commands, the transcription is used as an editable prompt for the equivalent non whisper command (GpWhisperRewrite dictates instructions for GpRewrite etc.):
- :GpWhisperRewrite - answer replaces the current line, visual selection or range
- :GpWhisperAppend - answers after the current line, visual selection or range
- :GpWhisperPrepend - answers before the current line, selection or range
- :GpWhisperEnew - answers into new buffer in the current window
- :GpWhisperNew - answers into new horizontal split
- :GpWhisperVnew - answers into new vertical split
- :GpWhisperTabnew - answers into new tab
- :GpWhisperPopup - answers into pop up window
To stop the stream of currently running gpt response you can use :GpStop
Run your own custom hook commands:
- :GpInspectPlugin - inspect GPT prompt plugin object

GpDone autocommand to run consequent actions

Commands like GpRewrite, GpAppend etc. run asynchronously and generate event GpDone, so you can define autocmd (like auto formating) to run when gp finishes:

    vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd({ "User" }, {
        pattern = {"GpDone"},
        callback = function(event)
            print("event fired:\n", vim.inspect(event))
            -- local b = event.buf
            -- DO something
        end,
    })

Custom instructions per repository

By calling :GpContext you can make .gp.md markdown file in a root of a repository. Commands such as :GpRewrite, :GpAppend etc. will respect instructions provided in this file (works better with gpt4, gpt 3.5 doesn't always listen to system commands). For example:

Use ‎C++17.
Use Testify library when writing Go tests.
Use Early return/Guard Clauses pattern to avoid excessive nesting.
...

Here is another example.

Scripting and multifile edits

GpDone event + .gp.md custom instructions provide a possibility to run gp.nvim using headless (neo)vim from terminal or shell script. So you can let gp run edits accross many files if you put it in a loop.

test file:

.gp.md file:

If user says hello, please respond with:

```
Ahoy there!
```

calling gp.nvim from terminal/script:

register autocommand to save and quit nvim when Gp is done
second jumps to occurrence of something I want to rewrite/append/prepend to (in this case number 3)
selecting the line
calling gp.nvim acction

$ nvim --headless -c "autocmd User GpDone wq" -c "/3" -c "normal V" -c "GpAppend hello there"  test

resulting test file:

1
2
3
Ahoy there!
4
5

Shortcuts

There are no default global shortcuts to mess with your own config. Bellow are examples for you to adjust or just use directly.

Native

You can use the good old vim.keymap.set and paste the following after require("gp").setup(conf) call (or anywhere you keep shortcuts if you want them at one place).

local function keymapOptions(desc)
    return {
        noremap = true,
        silent = true,
        nowait = true,
        desc = "GPT prompt " .. desc,
    }
end

Extend functionality

You can extend/override the plugin functionality with your own, by putting functions into config.hooks. Hooks have access to everything (see InspectPlugin example in defaults) and are automatically registered as commands (GpInspectPlugin).

Here are some more examples:

:GpUnitTests

The raw plugin text editing method Prompt has seven aprameters:

params is a table passed to neovim user commands, Prompt currently uses:

range, line1, line2 to work with ranges
args so instructions can be passed directly after command (:GpRewrite something something)

params = {
      args = "",
      bang = false,
      count = -1,
      fargs = {},
      line1 = 1352,
      line2 = 1352,
      mods = "",
      name = "GpChatNew",
      range = 0,
      reg = "",
      smods = {
            browse = false,
            confirm = false,
            emsg_silent = false,
            hide = false,
            horizontal = false,

target specifying where to direct GPT response

enew/new/vnew/tabnew can be used as a function so you can pass in a filetype for the new buffer (enew/enew()/enew("markdown")/..)

M.Target = {
    rewrite = 0, -- for replacing the selection, range or the current line
    append = 1, -- for appending after the selection, range or the current line
    prepend = 2, -- for prepending before the selection, range or the current line
    popup = 3, -- for writing into the popup window

    -- for writing into a new buffer
    ---@param filetype nil | string # nil = same as the original buffer
    ---@return table # a table with type=4 and filetype=filetype
    enew = function(filetype)
        return { type = 4, filetype = filetype }
    end,

    --- for creating a new horizontal split
    ---@param filetype nil | string # nil = same as the original buffer
    ---@return table # a table with type=5 and filetype=filetype
    new = function(filetype)
        return { type = 5, filetype = filetype }
    end,

    --- for creating a new vertical split
    ---@param filetype nil | string # nil = same as the original buffer
    ---@return table # a table with type=6 and filetype=filetype
    vnew = function(filetype)
        return { type = 6, filetype = filetype }
    end,

    --- for creating a new tab
    ---@param filetype nil | string # nil = same as the original buffer
    ---@return table # a table with type=7 and filetype=filetype
    tabnew = function(filetype)
        return { type = 7, filetype = filetype }
    end,
}

prompt
- string used similarly as bash/zsh prompt in terminal, when plugin asks for user command to gpt.
- if nil, user is not asked to provide input (for specific predefined commands - document this, explain that, write tests ..)
- simple 🤖 ~ might be used or you could use different msg to convey info about the method which is called
  (🤖 rewrite ~, 🤖 popup ~, 🤖 enew ~, 🤖 inline ~, etc.)
model
- see gpt model overview
template
- template of the user message send to gpt
- string can include variables bellow:
  
  name Description
  
  {{filetype}} filetype of the current buffer
  
  {{selection}} last or currently selected text
  
  {{command}} instructions provided by the user
system_template
- See gpt api intro
whisper
- optional string serving as a default for input prompt (for example generated from speech by Whisper)
