Show HN: VimLM – A Local, Offline Coding Assistant for Vim

VimLM is a local, offline coding assistant for Vim. It’s like Copilot but runs entirely on your machine—no APIs, no tracking, no cloud.

- Deep Context: Understands your codebase (current file, selections, references). - Conversational: Iterate with follow-ups like "Add error handling". - Vim-Native: Keybindings like `Ctrl-l` for prompts, `Ctrl-p` to replace code. - Inline Commands: `!include` files, `!deploy` code, `!continue` long responses.

Perfect for privacy-conscious devs or air-gapped environments.

Try it: ``` pip install vimlm vimlm ```
