How to configure Copilot to automatically enable when nvim starts?

[joehdodd]

Sorry if I've missed this in the documentation, but I was wondering how I can configure this plugin to automatically enable Copilot when I run nvim. Currently, every time I run nvim for the first time I then have to run the Copilot auth command manually in order to enable Copilot and get suggestions. If I don't manually run Copilot auth, running Copilot tells me that it isn't enabled and I can see that the plugin isn't loaded if I check my plugin status in the Lazy window.

Here's my current configuration...

{
    "zbirenbaum/copilot.lua",
    cmd = "Copilot",
    build = ':Copilot auth',
    event = "InsertEnter",
    config = function()
        require("copilot").setup({
          suggestion = {
            auto_trigger = true,
            debounce = 100,
            keymap = {
              accept = "<C-l>",
            },
          }
        })
    end
}

You've set cmd = "Copilot", and event = "InsertEnter".

So copilot will either load when:

• You run a :Copilot command
• Or you've opened a file and entered Insert mode

If you don't wanna lazy load copilot, remove those 2 options, then copilot will start as soon as neovim is open.

Also copilot server will only run when you've actually opened a file. Otherwise, it'll just wait for you to open a file.

Ah, I figured it was just something I glossed over in the docs. Thank you!
