I missed the milestone: Belated Happy 100 to the Awesome-Vim9 list
Over 100 plugins now on the awesome-vim9 list. Many slept on, so have a look around.

Opinionated TLDR for Windows users
After identifying another speed bump for Windows users, I've added a TLDR to Install Vim in Windows.
If you already have a setup you're happy with, these might help with any nagging issues.
- Install PowerShell 7 # Vim in PowerShell 5 and CMD are tougher. "My OS is my IDE" doesn't with WSL.
​
winget install Microsoft.PowerShell --source winget
- Install GNU zip and unzip # Plugins look for these
​
winget install GnuWin32.Zip GnuWin32.UnZip --source winget
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("PATH", "$($env:PATH);C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin", [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::User)
- Don't use the latest Copilot. Lock version at 1.4.1 or clone ShayHill/copilot.vim
- in
vimrc(in this order):
​
set shell=pwsh
set termguicolors
&t_8u = "\<Esc>[58:2::%lu:%lu:%lum" # fix spelling and `yegappan/lsp` error rendering
- Install DejaVuSansMono.ttf # A fixed-width font with plenty of symbols and dotted 0
- in
gvimrc:
​
set guifont=DejaVu_Sans_Mono:h10:cANSI:qDRAFT
set renderoptions=type:directx,gamma:1.0,geom:0,renmode:5,taamode:1 # better symbol colors

If Copilot used to "just work" for you and now it doesn't, this looks like the reason. The problem lies in an update with pre-compiled binaries between 1.41.0 and 1.42.0. There might be an easy patch to get the latest version working, but I won't go down that rabbit hole.
This makes easy work of reverting without scripts, tweaking your package manager, or forking yourself. BTW, removing `github/copilot.vim` and adding `ShayHill/copilot.vim` to your package manager config probably won't accomplish anything, because the names are the same. You'll need to delete / clean / or similar before adding `ShayHill/copilot.vim`.

Copilot worked for me for years, but now I have an endless auth loop: log in, appears to communicate with server, everything fails because the token is expired or wrong.
I am having the same issue with Windsurf.
I have been through MANY iterations of "clean" runs, deleting caches, trying things on the GitHub end, config tweaks, install / uninstall node. No clues. Does anyone have this working? It's been a few years since I've been stuck like this in Vim.
