Copilot: Disabled for filetype=help by internal default

[MorganBergen]

:Copilot version

copilot.vim 1.5.3
Neovim 0.8.0
copilot/dist/agent.js 1.43.0
Node.js 17.9.1

I would like to set markdown to be enabled by default, however I'm new to neovim and I dont know where exactly I should set that global dictionary mapping

let g:copilot_filetypes = {
    \ 'xml': v:false,
    \ }

Where do I set this in the copilot.txt or in some options configuration?
I just dont know what command to run in order to set all files for copilot to be true

let g:copilot_filetypes = {
    \ '*' : v:true,
    \ }

I'm not sure if I write out this global mapping inside the options

I believe the configuration should be placed into ~/.config/nvim/init.vim (create that file if it doesn't already exist) (example nvim configuration)

Also, on your 2nd screenshot it says most file types are enabled by default, thus I don't know if you have to manually enable copilot at all.

It goes in your vimrc, generally ~/.config/nvim/init.vim as @maxxxxxdlp notes. Try this:

let g:copilot_filetypes = {'markdown': v:true}

If you're using a pure Lua config like ~/.config/nvim/init.lua, you can use a Lua variant:

vim.g.copilot_filetypes = {markdown = true}

[benlieb]

This works! Could we add this to the README? I Can make a PR if you want. Working examples are so helpful!

[Pclucido]

Is it a 404 or 552 error

[debragail]

I can't remember now. I can't confirm or deny.

This works for me as per :help copilot

require("copilot").setup {
  filetypes = {
    markdown = true, -- overrides default
    terraform = false, -- disallow specific filetype
    sh = function ()
      if string.match(vim.fs.basename(vim.api.nvim_buf_get_name(0)), '^%.env.*') then
        -- disable for .env files
        return false
      end
      return true
    end,
  },
}

The people have spoken. The file types yaml, markdown, and help are now turned on by default!

What if the configuration is needed on a per project basis?

Does Copilot recognize these settings placed inside of a .vimrc or init.vim file placed in a project's root directory?

If you are using astronvim with copilot-cmp , try create a ~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/copilot-override.lua with content like this

return {
  "zbirenbaum/copilot.lua",
  opts = {
    filetypes = {
      markdown = true, -- Explicitly enable markdown
    },
  },
}
