Carlos Gutierrez e57209a1f8 feat: adding multiple files 
### Added

- **Smart Scope Resolution** — Tree-sitter + indentation context for
selections
  - `resolve_selection_context()` in `scope/init.lua` handles partial
functions,
    whole functions, multi-function spans, indent blocks, and whole-file
selections
  - Enclosing function automatically sent as context when selecting code
inside one
  - Whole-file selection (>=80% of lines) triggers project tree as
context
  - Indentation-based fallback when Tree-sitter is unavailable

- **Explain-to-Document Intent** — "explain" prompts generate
documentation
  - Detects prompts like "explain this", "tell me about", "what does",
"question"
  - Generates documentation comments and inserts them above selected
code
  - Shows notification if nothing is selected
  - Updated intent action from "none" to "insert" for explain intent

- **Granular LLM Status Notifications** — Real-time progress reporting
  - Inline virtual text and floating status window show current stage
  - Stages: "Reading context...", "Searching index...", "Gathering
context...",
    "Recalling patterns...", "Building prompt...", "Sending to
[provider]...",
    "Processing response...", "Generating patch...", "Applying code..."
  - `update_inline_status()` in `thinking_placeholder.lua`
  - `update_stage()` in `thinking.lua`

- **Thinking Placeholder Positioning** — "Implementing..." appears above
selection
  - Uses `virt_lines_above = true` on extmark at selection start line
  - Dynamic status text updates during LLM processing

### Changed

- **Providers reduced to Copilot and Ollama only**
  - Removed Claude, OpenAI, and Gemini provider integrations
  - Deleted `llm/openai.lua` and `llm/gemini.lua`
  - Cleaned `llm/init.lua`, `config/defaults.lua`, `types.lua`,
`credentials.lua`,
    `cost/init.lua`, and `events/queue.lua` of all references
  - `valid_providers` now only includes "copilot" and "ollama"

- **Removed timer-based delayed processing** — Prompts are processed
instantly
  - Removed `timer` field, `timeout_ms`, and timer setup/cancellation
from `worker.lua`

- **Removed chat/agent/split window UI**
  - Deleted `ui/chat.lua`, `windows.lua`, `ui/switcher.lua`
  - Removed `CoderOpen`, `CoderClose`, `CoderToggle` commands
  - Removed window management from `autocmds.lua`, `inject.lua`,
`executor.lua`
  - Removed auto-open companion file logic

- **Commands removed from menu** (code retained with TODOs for
re-enabling)
  - `CoderAddApiKey`, `CoderRemoveApiKey`, `CoderBrain`,
`CoderFeedback`,
    `CoderMemories`, `CoderForget`, `CoderProcess`
  - Subcommands `process`, `status`, `memories`, `forget`,
`llm-feedback-good`,
    `llm-feedback-bad`, `add-api-key`, `remove-api-key` removed from
completion

### Fixed

- Fixed `patch.lua` syntax error — missing `if` wrapper around
SEARCH/REPLACE block
- Fixed `CoderModel` require path typo
(`codetyper.adapters.config.credentials`
  → `codetyper.config.credentials`)
- Fixed `thinking_placeholder` extmark placement appearing after
selection
  instead of above it

==============================================================================
3. INSTALLATION *codetyper-installation*
Using lazy.nvim: >lua
{
"cargdev/codetyper.nvim",
config = function()
require("codetyper").setup({
llm = {
provider = "copilot", -- or "ollama"
},
})
end,
}
<
Using packer.nvim: >lua
use {
"cargdev/codetyper.nvim",
config = function()
require("codetyper").setup()
end,
}
<
==============================================================================
4. CONFIGURATION *codetyper-configuration*
Default 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,
indexer = {
enabled = true,
auto_index = true,
},
brain = {
enabled = true,
auto_learn = true,
},
})
<
==============================================================================
5. LLM PROVIDERS *codetyper-providers*
*codetyper-copilot*
GitHub Copilot~
Uses your existing Copilot subscription via OAuth.
Requires copilot.lua or copilot.vim to be configured.
>lua
llm = {
provider = "copilot",
copilot = { model = "claude-sonnet-4" },
}
<
Use `:CoderModel` to quickly switch between Copilot models.
Models range from free tier (gpt-4.1, gpt-4o) to premium
(claude-opus-4.5). See `:CoderModel` for the full list.
*codetyper-ollama*
Ollama (Local)~
Run models locally with no API costs.
>lua
llm = {
provider = "ollama",
ollama = {
host = "http://localhost:11434",
model = "deepseek-coder:6.7b",
},
}
<
==============================================================================
6. USAGE *codetyper-usage*
Transform Selection~
1. Select code in visual mode
2. Press `<leader>ctt` to open the prompt window
3. Describe what you want (modify, explain, refactor, etc.)
4. Press `<CR>` or `:w` to submit
Normal Mode~
Press `<leader>ctt` without a selection to open a prompt window
for inserting code at the cursor position.
Inline Prompts~
Write prompts directly in your source file using tag syntax:
>
/@ Add input validation for email @/
<
When the closing tag is typed, the plugin processes the prompt
and replaces the tag with generated code.
==============================================================================
7. COMMANDS *codetyper-commands*
*:Coder*
:Coder [subcommand]
Main command with subcommands:
tree Manually refresh the tree.log file
tree-view Open tree.log in a split view
reset Reset processed prompts
gitignore Force update .gitignore
transform-selection Open transform prompt for selection
index-project Index the entire project
index-status Show project index status
llm-stats Show LLM accuracy statistics
llm-reset-stats Reset LLM accuracy statistics
cost Toggle cost estimation window
cost-clear Clear cost tracking session
credentials Show credentials status
switch-provider Switch active LLM provider
model Quick switch Copilot model
*:CoderTree*
:CoderTree
Manually refresh the tree.log file in .codetyper/ folder.
*:CoderTreeView*
:CoderTreeView
Open the tree.log file in a vertical split for viewing.
*:CoderTransformSelection*
:CoderTransformSelection
Open the transform prompt window. In visual mode, operates
on the selection. In normal mode, inserts at cursor.
*:CoderIndexProject*
:CoderIndexProject
Index the entire project for context-aware code generation.
*:CoderIndexStatus*
:CoderIndexStatus
Show project index status and memory statistics.
*:CoderCost*
:CoderCost
Toggle the cost estimation window showing token usage
and spending breakdown by model.
*:CoderCredentials*
:CoderCredentials
Show credentials status for all configured providers.
*:CoderSwitchProvider*
:CoderSwitchProvider
Interactive provider switcher (Copilot or Ollama).
*:CoderModel*
:CoderModel [model_name]
Quick switch Copilot model. Only available when using the
Copilot provider. Shows interactive selector if no argument.
Tab completion lists all available models.
==============================================================================
8. TRANSFORM *codetyper-transform*
Transform commands process prompts inline via a floating window.
Select code and press `<leader>ctt`:
- The plugin resolves the enclosing scope (function, class, block)
- Opens a centered prompt window
- Submit with `<CR>`, `:w`, or `Ctrl+Enter`
- Cancel with `<Esc>` or `q`
Context handling~
The plugin uses Tree-sitter and indentation analysis to
automatically determine the correct context for your selection:
- Partial selection inside a function: enclosing function sent
as context, only the selected lines are replaced.
- Whole function selected (>=85%): injection range expanded to
cover the full function boundaries.
- Selection spanning multiple functions: all affected functions
are included in the context; range expanded to cover all.
- Whole file selected (>=80%): project tree sent as context.
- Without Tree-sitter: indentation-based fallback walks outward
to find the enclosing block.
Explain intent~
When the prompt contains words like "explain", "tell me",
"what does", or "question", the plugin generates documentation
comments and inserts them above the selected code (instead of
replacing it). Requires a visual selection.
==============================================================================
9. INTENT DETECTION *codetyper-intent*
The plugin detects intent from your prompt to decide how code
should be generated and 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 |
==============================================================================
10. SCOPE RESOLUTION *codetyper-scope*
Prompts and selections automatically resolve to their enclosing
scope using Tree-sitter (with indentation fallback):
Scope types: `function`, `method`, `class`, `block`, `file`
This means a prompt inside a function automatically includes
the function signature and body as context for the LLM.
==============================================================================
11. KEYMAPS *codetyper-keymaps*
Default keymaps (auto-configured):
<leader>ctt (Normal) Open prompt window at cursor
<leader>ctt (Visual) Open prompt window for selection
Cost window keymaps:
q / <Esc> Close window
r Refresh
c Clear session
C Clear all history
==============================================================================
12. COST WINDOW *codetyper-cost*
The cost window (`:CoderCost`) shows real-time token usage and
cost estimation:
- Session costs tracked in real-time
- All-time costs persisted to disk
- Per-model breakdown with pricing
- Savings tracking for free models (Ollama, Copilot)
==============================================================================
13. API *codetyper-api*
*codetyper.setup()*
codetyper.setup({opts})
Initialize the plugin with configuration options.
*codetyper.get_config()*
codetyper.get_config()
Returns the current configuration table.
*codetyper.is_initialized()*
codetyper.is_initialized()
Returns true if the plugin has been initialized.
