Configuration

Configure wit.nvim by adding the setup function in your configuration file.

require("wit").setup({
  -- You can choose your preferred search engine from
  -- the supported list: {google, bing, duckduckgo, ecosia, brave, perplexity}.
  --
  -- There's also the possibility of just specifying a custom
  -- search engine URL by providing the base URL and the required search params.
  -- EXAMPLE:
  -- engine = "https://<your_preferred_search_engine>/search?q="
  engine = "google", -- search engine (default: "google")

  command_search = "WitSearch", -- custom command to search (default: "WitSearch")
  command_search_visual = "WitSearchVisual", -- custom command to search visually (default: "WitSearchVisual")
  command_search_wiki = "WitSearchWiki", -- custom command to search wikipedia (default: "WitSearchWiki")
