I think what you propose 'balloonpopup' is exactly what I'm looking for, thank you. Essentially I'd like to leverage the fact that gopls (the LSP server used by govim) can return a richer markdown version of hover information. Being able to display a popup window instead of a balloon will (via text properties etc) allow me to do just that. One other thing to mention: I think we would want a cursor movement to dismiss such a popup, in addition to a mouse move. Similarly, I think we will need one of the options to popup_create to allow for 'moved' property to also include mouse movement. Reason being, I'd like the user to be able to trigger exactly the same hover information via a mapping, displaying the popup at the cursor position (not the mouse position). Just as described above, a mouse movement or cursor movement should dismiss such a popup. Thanks -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
