How to open chat in right split window by CopilotChat.

[yfujita-skgcat]

Is there any simple way to display the chat from the CopilotChat command in a split window on the right side?

I read "rplugin/python3/CopilotChat/mypynvim/core/buffer.py" and found self.nvim.api.command(f"vsplit | buffer {self.buf.handle}").
I inserted "wincmd l" as follows and succeeded in open chat in right side.

    def vsplit(self, opts: dict[str, Any] = {}):
        # self.nvim.api.command(f"vsplit | buffer {self.buf.handle}")
        self.nvim.api.command(f"vsplit | wincmd l | buffer {self.buf.handle}")
        winnr = self.nvim.api.get_current_win()
        for opt, val in opts.items():
            self.nvim.api.win_set_option(winnr, opt, val)

Is there any other way than modifying the source code?

set splitright if you want to have it globally (which is imo the most sane default)
and set splitbelow for horizontal split
