Sorry, not directly connected to your problem, but I just noticed that
the balloon window can _only_ be used with the mouse. Wouldn't it make
sense if 'balloonexpr' is set, that the balloon is also shown when the
cursor pauses over a character for a certain time? (Just like CursorHold
does).
I think, most people using vim will never touch the mouse but the
balloon could give valuable information (like the definition of
variable) also for keyboard-only users.
