Description

Hi echasnovski! Is it possible to include a UI for commandline like noice.nvim does. It would be really cool if that is added to mini.nvim. Also a ui for vim.input would be cool as well.

Thanks for the suggestion!

I would like to have this implemented but the current state of Neovim API is that doing so robustly requires a lot of hacks.

There are vague plans to update Neovim itself to make this type of task easier, but I am not sure what is the progress there. So much so, that I am fairly confident to close this issue as "There is no good support for this in Neovim itself". If/when there is a development in that area, I'll revisit this.
