This plugin integrates OpenAI's Codex with the Vim editor, offering AI-powered code completion to enhance developer productivity. It targets Vim users seeking intelligent, context-aware code suggestions directly within their workflow.

How It Works

The plugin leverages OpenAI's Codex API to generate code completions. Users trigger the CreateCompletion command within Vim, optionally specifying the desired number of tokens. For line-specific completion, CreateCompletionLine is available. The plugin maps these commands to convenient keyboard shortcuts, such as <Leader>co or Ctrl+x, for seamless integration into editing.
