### code multiplexer for neovim
> CodeMP is a **collaborative** text editing plugin to work remotely.
It seamlessly integrates in your editor providing remote cursors and instant text synchronization,
as well as a remote virtual workspace for you and your team.
> CodeMP is build with state-of-the-art CRDT technology, guaranteeing eventual consistency.
This means everyone in a workspace will always be working on the exact same file _eventually_:
even under unreliable networks or constrained resources, the underlying CRDT will always reach a
convergent state across all users. Even with this baseline, CodeMP's proto is optimized for speed
and low network footprint, meaning even slow connections can provide stable real-time editing.
This is the reference codemp neovim plugin maintained by [hexedtech](https://hexed.technology)
# usage
> [!CAUTION]
> codemp-nvim is not finished nor ready for early adopters, this is a demo
to interact with this plugin use the `:MP` command
| command | description |
| --- | --- |
| `:MP toggle` | toggles the codemp sidebar |
| `:MP connect [host] [username] [password]` | to connect to server, user and pwd will be prompted if not given |
once connected, more commands become available:
| command | description |
| --- | --- |
| `:MP disconnect` | disconnects from server |
| `:MP id` | shows current client id |
| `:MP join <workspace>` | will join requested workspace; starts processing cursors, users and filetree |
after a workspace is joined, more commands become available:
| command | description |
| --- | --- |
| `:MP leave <workspace>` | disconnect from a joined workspace |
| `:MP attach <buffer>` | will attach to requested buffer if it exists (opens a new local buffer and uses current window) |
| `:MP detach <buffer>` | detach from a buffer and stop receiving changes |
| `:MP share` | shares current file: creates a new buffer with local file's content, and attach to it |
| `:MP sync` | forces resynchronization of current buffer |
| `:MP create <bufname>` | will create a new empty buffer in workspace |
| `:MP delete <bufname>` | will delete a buffer from workspace |
### quick start
* first connect to server with `:MP connect`
* then join a workspace with `:MP join <workspace>`
* either attach directly to a buffer with `:MP attach <buffer>` or browse available buffers with `:MP toggle`
MP command autocompletes available options for current state, so cycle <Tab> if you forget any name
## configuration
it's possible to configure global `vim.g.codemp_username` and a `vim.g.codemp_password` which will be used when connecting
# installation
> [!IMPORTANT]
> the release zip provided is a tech demo for linux, there are no official releases yet
* download the internal demo bundle from [here](https://github.com/hexedtech/codemp-nvim/releases/tag/v0.1)
* place the whole `codemp` folder under your `.config/nvim/lua` directory
* add `CODEMP = require('codemp')` at the end of your `init.lua`
## building
this plugin relies on the native codemp lua bindings: just compile the main `codemp` project with `lua` feature enabled
and place a `lua.so` or `lua.dll` together with the plugin lua files while bundling
```
.config/
|-nvim/
: |-lua/
: : |-codemp/
: : : |- lua.(so|dll)
: : : |- init.lua
: : : : ...
```
