aider-nvim

A simple Neovim plugin for integrating with aider

Installation

Using lazy.nvim:

{
    'crspeller/aider-nvim',
    config = function()
        require('aider-nvim').setup({
            -- Optional configuration
            terminal_height = 15, -- Height of the terminal split
            command = "aider",    -- Command to run
        })
    end
}

Usage

The plugin provides a command :Aider that opens a terminal split and runs aider.

Keymapping Example

-- Map :Aider to <leader>a
vim.keymap.set('n', '<leader>a', ':Aider<CR>', { noremap = true, silent = true })

-- Optional: Map <esc> to exit terminal mode
-- This allows you to exit the aider terminal with <esc>
vim.api.nvim_set_keymap('t', '<esc>', '<c-\\><c-n>', {noremap = true})

Configuration

You can configure the plugin by passing options to the setup function:

require('aider-nvim').setup({
    terminal_height = 15, -- Height of the terminal split
    terminal_width = 80,  -- Width of the terminal split
    command = "aider"     -- Command to run
})
