Cursor-style inline AI editing for Neovim. Select code, describe the change, and get an inline, highlighted edit you can accept or reject—similar to Cursor’s inline workflow.

Features

• Inline popup for AI edits, triggered from visual selection.
• One-key accept or reject for generated inline edits.

Requirements

• Neovim with support for vim.system (0.10+ is recommended).
• curl available in your PATH.
• An OpenAI API key with access to the configured model (default: gpt-4.1-mini).

Installation

Use your favorite plugin manager. Examples below assume the repository path is nishu-murmu/cursor-inline – adjust if your repo is named differently.

lazy.nvim

{
  "nishu-murmu/cursor-inline",
  config = function()
    require("cursor-inline").setup()
  end,
}

packer.nvim

use({
  "nishu-murmu/cursor-inline",
  config = function()
    require("cursor-inline").setup()
  end,
})

vim-plug

Plug 'nishu-murmu/cursor-inline'

Then, somewhere in your Neovim config:

require("cursor-inline").setup()

Configuration

You can customize key mappings and the OpenAI model/provider via setup.

Default configuration from lua/cursor-inline/config.lua:

{
  mappings = {
    open_input = "<leader>e",
    accept_response = "<leader>y",
    deny_response = "<leader>n",
  },
  provider = {
    name = "openai",
    model = "gpt-4.1-mini",
  },
}

API key handling

On the first request, if no API key is found, the plugin:

• Notifies that the <provider.name> API key is missing.
• Prompts you in Neovim for the key.
• Stores the key in a file under your Neovim stdpath("data") directory (plain text).

Subsequent requests reuse the stored key. Be aware that this key is stored unencrypted on your machine.

TODOs

• Integrate multiple AI providers
• Diff previews for edits
• Streaming response support
