It’s funny because I actually use vim mostly when I don’t want LLM assisted code. Sometimes it just gets in the way. If I do, I load up cursor with vim binding

Funny. I think the most common usage I have is using it at the command line to write commands with vim set as my EDITOR so the AI completion really helps. This will help for offline support (on planes and such).

  Can you more specifically talk about how you use this, like with a small example?

What I'd really like is a non-intrusive LLM running that I can put on a third monitor which sees what I'm working on, while I work, and tries to mirror and make suggestions WITHOUT interjecting itself into my editor. Then I just want a mappable prompt command (like <leader>P) where I can provide feedback / suggestions (or maybe I just do that via mic). This way I can choose to just ignore it for the most part, but if I see something interesting, I can refine it, prompt, cherry pick, etc. I really don't want autocomplete for anything.

  Hey I was working on something like this, because I wanted something similar. I had it confined to just the terminal though, because I don't want just a vim helper, I want an everything helper. I was going to have the helper generate suggestions in a separate window, which could be moved to any monitor or screen. It would make suggestions and autocompletes, and you can chat with it to generate commands etc on the fly. Maybe I will pick it up again soon.

    That sounds pretty great! Kind of like an AI pair.
