I'm having this exact issue across all of the devices I've tested it with. (3x Linux 1x windows)

Same setup as this user but instead I use alacrity and fish.

Note to user @haseeb-heaven i'm not 100% sure on this so someone correct me if i'm wrong. But i belive the reason that the method didnt work for both of us is due to the fact that kickstart uses the lazy plugin manager.

I was able to get copilot working on all my machines by going into my init.lua file and going to any location within the "require('lazy').setup({" bracket. And entering "'github/copilot.vim'," Heres a screenshot for reference.

Try it out and see if the method works for you too.

Solution mentioned by @Xanthus58 fixed this issue.

Does it show prompts to you so you an tab on them? For me it doesn't, only when running :Copilot, it shows 10 possible answers...

[haseeb-heaven]

You have to run command Copilot setup to set it up and then it will start running.

[alexbaikal]

I've set it up, had to paste this in nvim init.lua: vim.g.copilot_assume_mapped = true

[haseeb-heaven]

No i didnt had to do that step

[klcantrell]

I've set it up, had to paste this in nvim init.lua: vim.g.copilot_assume_mapped = true

I needed this line as well otherwise no inline suggestions would show up. Just curious @alexbaikal, where did you find this setting? I'm not finding any documentation about it.

Hi guys! I just started using Copilot with Neovim myself, and I found what I see as a cleaner solution:

https://github.com/feoh/git_dotfiles/blob/master/.config/nvim/lua/custom/plugins/copilot.lua

Note that this also uses Ctrl-j as the "OK Copilot give me a suggestion" because I couldn't get copilot working with kickstart by default as copilot status would say that it's disabled by default since tab was already in use.

I suspect we could somehow integrate with cmp instead, but I'm happy to be explicit and use Ctrl-j when I want Copilot for now.
