windsurf.vim is a plugin for Vim and Neovim by Exafunction (formerly part of the Codeium project) that brings in AI-driven code completion and assistance capabilities. The aim is to provide a “free, ultrafast” alternative to other AI code assistants (such as GitHub Copilot) directly within Vim/Neovim. Once installed and configured, windsurf.vim can suggest code completions, generate multi-line snippets based on comments or invitation in code, and make the editing experience more predictive and context-aware. The plugin supports major programming languages and allows you to trigger completions as you type—especially after comments or partial code constructs. Because it is designed to integrate with Vim’s editing model, it offers suggestions in-line and leverages virtual text or inline indicators when supported. Many developers using Neovim look to this plugin as a way to bring modern AI-powered code-assistance into their terminal-centric workflow.
