Support vim popup

[mcchrish]

As the title says. Neovim and soon Vim will support floating window. Would be nice that the plugin can support it.

Awesome! Please let me know if we need to change anything in nnn.

[mcchrish]

Turns out nnn.vim can do this already. See example https://github.com/mcchrish/nnn.vim#layout

See also https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim/issues/664 since nnn.vim is pretty much implemented the same way.

Can you please add an example of how to use floating windiw with vim?

[jarun]

Also, is it possible to have a persistent window at the left with the "Or pass a dictionary with window size" example? When I open a file, the complete terminal is used by that file and the bar to the left isn't visible anymore.

[mcchrish]

Will probably leave this issue open to tackle on the vim feature. Not yet familiar as to how vim implements floating window.

is it possible to have a persistent window at the left

Seems to be similar to what others request where the nnn window stays open in the left. It's probably possible to do this by interacting with nnn via stdout.

@mcchrish any update on this? This would be a very useful feature for nnn.vim users.

[jarun]

Thank you so much for this @mcchrish!

BTW, is this configurable? Can I still choose to use the floating window or the side pane?

[mcchrish]

Yes it's configurable. You can change the size, offset, border style and border color of the window.

let g:nnn#layout = { 'window': { 'width': 0.9, 'height': 0.6, 'highlight': 'Debug' } }

All the other types of layout still works including side pane.

@mcchrish Can we close this?
