mini-ai

A minimalist code assistant powered by GPT, inspired by ai.vim. mini-ai provides a seamless interface for AI-powered text modification and completion, enhancing your coding experience.

Check out the mini-ai GitHub repository for more details and updates.

Features

1. Modifying Selected Text by Instruction: Just select the text you want to modify and type your instruction. mini-ai will adjust the selected text accordingly.

2. Text Completion by Understanding the Context: With mini-ai, you don't have to worry about completing complex lines of code. Simply place your cursor where you want the completion and let mini-ai take care of the rest.

How to Use

Using mini-ai is simple. Open the command palette and search for the mini-ai: Command.

mini-ai supports both GPT-3.5 Turbo and GPT-4. You can easily switch between the two versions by adding '#' to the prompt for GPT-4. If there's no prompt, mini-ai will default to auto-completion at the cursor's position.

Please note that the use of GPT-4 requires access permission.

To use GPT-3.5 Turbo

Select text and just enter your prompt directly.

mini-ai: Command - Replace all tabs with spaces in the selected text.

To use GPT-4

Add '#' to the beginning of your command. Please note that the use of GPT-4 requires access permission.

mini-ai: Command - # Replace all tabs with spaces in the selected text.

For Text Completion

Simply place your cursor where you need it and activate the mini-ai: Command without inputting anything in the prompt. You can trigger GPT-4 by adding '#' to the beginning of your command.

def greet(name):
    return "Hello, "  # Place cursor here and run mini-ai: Command

Result:
def greet(name):
    return "Hello, " + name 

Prompt Templates (New!)

mini-ai also supports prompt templates. You can save your favorite prompts and call them with the mini-ai: Ask From Templates command. Here are default templates:

// You can modify saved templates in settings.json
"default": [
    "Refactor and optimize this code",
    "Write a comment for this code",
    "Translate this text to English"
],

---

You can also bind the commands to a shortcut key for quick access. Here is an example for vscodevim keymapping:

{
    // Replace <your preferred shortcut> with your chosen keybinding.
    // mini-ai.command is the command for text modification.
    // mini-ai.commandFromTemplates is the command for calling saved templates.

    "vim.normalModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive": [
        {
            "before": ["<your preferred shortcut>"],
            "commands": ["mini-ai.command"]
        }
    ],
    "vim.visualModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive": [
        {
            "before": ["<your preferred shortcut>"],
            "commands": ["mini-ai.command"]
        }
    ],
}
