Question 1

How do I install gemini.nvim with lazy.nvim?

Accepted Answer

Add the plugin to your lazy.nvim configuration with `{ 'kiddos/gemini.nvim', opts = {} }`, and ensure you have curl installed and set the GEMINI_API_KEY environment variable as per the README.

Question 2

gemini.nvim vs copilot.nvim: which is better for Neovim?

Accepted Answer

gemini.nvim uses Google's Gemini API and offers more customizable prompts for specific tasks, while copilot.nvim is based on GitHub Copilot with deeper IDE integration. Choose based on your preference for AI model and need for customization versus out-of-the-box features.

Question 3

Can gemini.nvim work offline?

Accepted Answer

No, it requires an active internet connection to access the Gemini API, so it's not suitable for offline development environments or areas with poor connectivity.

Question 4

How to change the AI model in gemini.nvim settings?

Accepted Answer

Modify the `model_id` in the `model_config` section of the settings, for example to 'gemini-pro', but note that supported models depend on Google's API availability and may incur different costs.

Question 5

What is the cost of using Gemini API with this plugin?

Accepted Answer

Costs vary based on Gemini API pricing tiers and usage; you'll need to monitor your API consumption on Google's platform, as the plugin itself doesn't manage or limit API calls.

Question 6

How to disable automatic hints in gemini.nvim?

Accepted Answer

Set `hints.enabled = false` in the plugin configuration, or adjust the `hints_delay` to control when hints appear, as documented in the settings example.
