help CopilotChat.nvim FAQ

Does CopilotChat.nvim use a separate OpenAI API key?

CopilotChat.nvim is built around GitHub Copilot Chat access rather than a generic OpenAI API key workflow. In practice, users need a working GitHub Copilot setup in Neovim before the chat layer is useful.

What does CopilotChat.nvim add beyond normal Copilot completions?

Normal GitHub Copilot in Neovim focuses on inline code suggestions. CopilotChat.nvim adds a conversational interface for tasks like explaining selected code, proposing fixes, or generating tests from inside Neovim.

How does CopilotChat.nvim differ from Continue.nvim?

CopilotChat.nvim is centered on GitHub Copilot's chat backend and a Neovim-native chat workflow. Continue.nvim is broader because it can connect to providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and local Ollama models depending on configuration.

Can CopilotChat.nvim use the current buffer as context?

Yes, its practical value comes from sending selected code, buffers, diagnostics, or file context from Neovim into the chat. That makes it more editor-aware than pasting code manually into a browser chat window.
