Popup windows mostly done

[Bram Moolenaar]

The popup window feature has been implemented. Only a few minor things
remain.

So this is a good time to try out popup windows, find any problems and
missing features. The best way is to try implementing what you want do
do with popup windows.

Please read the help at ":help popup" and check it out.

Thanks again for all the work on this, Bram.

We're just about to fully switch to popups i.e. upgrade min version of
Vim required for govim with no fallback option to use balloons/other.
No problems seen so far, works really well.

And we're just about to use the completeopt+=popup support with the
completepopup=align:menu option to bolster the completion side of
things.

I haven't had a look at it yet. However I would be interested to know of
any plugins making use of it already. So please showcase some scripts ;)

Best,
Christian

Are you still planning a showcase https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/vim_dev/o1rzzF5nCRw/LUBiSQ7_BQAJ

If anyone is planning on working on this, creating something via
asciinema would be a nice way of getting the visualisation for free.
The entire set of examples could be coded with timings, then "played"
with asciinema recording.

I enabled the wiki on github and added a first page:
https://github.com/vim/vim/wiki

Let's see how it goes.

First off, I'm really looking forward to this feature and seeing how it'll be used in the wild.

Is the list of "only a few minor things" documented somewhere? I've noticed a few small issues, but don't want to add noise if they're already known. For instance, I don't seem to be able to make popups draggable or resizeable (patch 8.1.1944).

You need to enable that with "resize" and "drag".

@bfrg has added his plugin
[vim-qf-preview](https://github.com/bfrg/vim-qf-preview) to the wiki.

You apparantly can't add embedded asciinema animations to github wikis
unfortunately, so it's just a screenshot.

I'm currently using this plugin and find it extremely useful.

I've done that, but it's very possible I'm overlooking something or my environment is quirky. I've tried opening vim in/out of tmux, with/out a .vimrc and almost every variation of the optional configs I can think of. I'm using Debian 10, i3 version 4.16.1 and vim patch 8.1.1944.

Here's a screencap of the behavior I see: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ooc18fc0hmzi5ej/vim-popup-resize-drag.ogv?dl=0

It looks like 'mouse' is not enabled. Can you try setting 'mouse' to 'a'?

The command is right, and it works for me. Thus there is something wrong
with mouse events in your setup. Probably drag events don't work.
I have seen that with some terminal emulators.

vim-lsp uses the new popup window a lot. https://github.com/prabirshrestha/vim-lsp

Signature help: https://github.com/prabirshrestha/vim-lsp/pull/479

We also use it for hover to find information about the word under cursor. https://github.com/prabirshrestha/vim-lsp/pull/441

And to peek definition: https://github.com/prabirshrestha/vim-lsp/pull/412

Is there an equivalent for CursorMoved but MouseMoved instead so we can auto open the popup window? MouseMoved would definitely need some sort of debouning.

I'm glad you can use the new functionality.

You can use the balloon eval feature, see ":help popup_beval_example"
for an example.

Maybe off topic, but I kind of wish vim.wasm is mature enough that you can use it to host interactive live demos on a webpage. This way you can see the demo, then try it out without having to pull the plugin and update Vim to latest version, etc.
