## Installation

### Using [lazy.nvim](https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim)

```lua
{
  "cargdev/codetyper.nvim",
  cmd = { "Coder", "CoderTransformSelection", "CoderModel" },
  keys = {
    { "<leader>ctt", desc = "Coder: Transform / Prompt" },
  },
  config = function()
    require("codetyper").setup({
      llm = {
        provider = "copilot", -- or "ollama"
      },
    })
  end,
}
```

### Using [packer.nvim](https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim)

```lua
use {
  "cargdev/codetyper.nvim",
  config = function()
    require("codetyper").setup()
  end,
}
```

---

## Quick Start

**1. Select code in Visual mode and press `<leader>ctt`:**

A floating prompt window opens.

**2. Describe what you want:**

```
add error handling and input validation
```

**3. Press `<CR>` to submit — the LLM generates code inline.**

**4. Review the conflict and accept/reject:**
- `ct` — Accept AI suggestion (theirs)
- `co` — Keep original code (ours)
- `cb` — Accept both versions
- `cn` — Delete both (none)

---

## Configuration

```lua
require("codetyper").setup({
  llm = {
    provider = "copilot", -- "copilot" or "ollama"

    copilot = {
      model = "claude-sonnet-4",
    },

    ollama = {
      host = "http://localhost:11434",
      model = "deepseek-coder:6.7b",
    },
  },

  auto_gitignore = true,
  auto_index = false,

  scheduler = {
    enabled = true,
    ollama_scout = true,
    escalation_threshold = 0.7,
    max_concurrent = 2,
    completion_delay_ms = 100,
    apply_delay_ms = 5000,
  },
})
```

### Credentials Management

Credentials are stored in `~/.local/share/nvim/codetyper/configuration.json`.

```vim
:CoderCredentials       " View status
:CoderSwitchProvider    " Switch between Copilot and Ollama
:CoderModel             " Quick switch Copilot model
```

---

## LLM Providers

### GitHub Copilot

Uses your existing Copilot subscription via OAuth. Requires `copilot.lua` or `copilot.vim`.

```lua
llm = {
  provider = "copilot",
  copilot = { model = "claude-sonnet-4" },
}
```

Use `:CoderModel` to switch between Copilot models (gpt-4o, gpt-4.1, claude-sonnet-4, o4-mini, etc.).

### Ollama (Local)

Run models locally with no API costs.

```lua
llm = {
  provider = "ollama",
  ollama = {
    host = "http://localhost:11434",
    model = "deepseek-coder:6.7b",
  },
}
```

## Inline Transform

The core workflow. Select code and describe what you want.

### Normal Mode (No Selection)

Press `<leader>ctt` — a prompt window opens. Describe what you want and code is **inserted at the cursor line**.

### Visual Mode (With Selection)

Select code, press `<leader>ctt` — describe changes and the **selected code is replaced** with generated code.

### Context Handling

The plugin uses Tree-sitter and indentation analysis to determine context:

- **Partial function selection**: Enclosing function sent as context, only selected lines replaced
- **Whole function selected** (>=85%): Injection range expanded to full function boundaries
- **Multiple functions**: All affected functions included in context
- **Whole file selected** (>=80%): Project tree sent as additional context
- **Explain/question prompts**: Documentation inserted above the selection

---

## Intent Detection

The plugin classifies your prompt to decide how code should be applied:

| Intent | Keywords | Action |
|--------|----------|--------|
| complete | complete, finish, implement | replace |
| refactor | refactor, rewrite, simplify | replace |
| fix | fix, repair, debug, update, change | replace |
| add | add, create, insert, new, generate | insert |
| document | document, comment, jsdoc, annotate | replace |
| test | test, spec, unit test | append |
| optimize | optimize, performance, faster | replace |
| explain | explain, tell me, what does, question | insert |

**Explain intent** is special: it generates documentation comments and inserts them above the selected code rather than replacing it. If nothing is selected, a notification is shown.

---

## Scope Resolution

Prompts and selections automatically resolve to their enclosing scope using Tree-sitter (with indentation fallback):

```typescript
function getUserById(id: number): User | null {
  // Select this line and ask "add error handling"
  // → The full function is sent as context to the LLM
}
```

Scope types: `function`, `method`, `class`, `block`, `file`

---

## Conflict Resolution

When code is generated, it is shown as a git-style conflict:

```
<<<<<<< CURRENT
// Original code here
=======
// AI-generated code here
>>>>>>> INCOMING
```

- **Green background**: Original (CURRENT) code
- **Blue background**: AI-generated (INCOMING) code
- **Virtual text**: Shows available keymaps

After resolving a conflict, the menu automatically shows for the next one. Toggle auto-show with `:CoderConflictAutoMenu`.

---

## Cost Tracking

Track LLM API costs across sessions:

```vim
:CoderCost
```

- Session and all-time statistics
- Per-model breakdown with token counts
- Pricing for 50+ models
- Savings tracking for free models (Ollama, Copilot free tier)
- History persisted in `.codetyper/cost_history.json`

---

## Health Check

```vim
:checkhealth codetyper
```

---
