Long delay on :q when exiting Neovim with copilot.vim enabled, even with session counting patches — any suggestions?

Inizia riproducendo il ritardo di circa 10 secondi su :q con copilot.vim abilitato dopo un periodo di inattività, utilizzando le versioni segnalate di Neovim, Node.js e Linux. Esamina la gestione di VimLeavePre, il gruppo di autocmd github_copilot e l'arresto di copilot node-process descritto nell'issue. Il lavoro è completato quando il comportamento di uscita bloccante è stato identificato e risolto senza disabilitare le funzionalità di Copilot, con il risultato verificato in una singola sessione inattiva.

Hi,

I’m experiencing a significant delay (~10 seconds) when quitting Neovim (:q) with copilot.vim enabled, and this happens even with a single Neovim session after it has been idle for a while.

To mitigate this, I’ve tried:

Adding a session counter (both Lua in init.lua and Vimscript in a plugin/copilot_session.vim patch) to track how many Neovim sessions with Copilot are active.

On VimLeavePre, only calling Copilot disable and killing the copilot node process when the last session exits, skipping it otherwise to avoid the stall.

Clearing Copilot’s own VimLeavePre autocmd group (github_copilot) in all but the last session to prevent multiple shutdown hooks running.

Avoiding forcibly killing node processes except on the last session exit.

However, the stall still occurs on quit even when only one Neovim session is open and idle. The copilot node process appears to be killed during exit, and I suspect Copilot’s internal shutdown logic is blocking Neovim exit.

My questions are:

Are there known issues in copilot.vim causing blocking delays on exit after idle?

Is there an official or recommended way to make Copilot’s shutdown asynchronous or non-blocking?

How can I reliably prevent the exit delay without disabling Copilot’s essential functionality?

Are there patches, config workarounds, or plugin updates that address this problem?

Thanks in advance for any insights or help!
