Question
Body
Installation of copilot for vim on cygwin appears to have documentation. I am thinking that this may be supported but, I have not found specifics on installation. I have recompiled vim (9.0.x). I downloaded binaries for Node.js for linux. (I read notes about needing to have native version of linux, so I am doubting that cygwin is supported). Running configure Node.js on cygwin and have had no success. I am not sure how nodesj is treated. My guess is I have the wrong configs. Can someone please point me in the right direction as far as which version nodejs and npm go on cygwin?
Kind Regards,
