print doc to status bar instead of spliting a window if length <= 120 #167

I think it's a better way to show doc on status bar if length of doc is small, because this is a silent way and doc can display well too.

And fix non ascii chars showing escaped string instead of showing as it is.

Hi. Are the status bar and the split window both guaranteed to be at the bottom of the screen? (If not, I think it would be annoying to not know in advance where the requested information is going to appear.)

maple-leaf commented 7 years ago

Not. The split window will show on top. I may try to split window at bottom, but the default way to show manual (trigger by pressing K on a keyword) of vim is at top. Maybe just stay default way is better.

Yeah, I've pushed your unicode fix as af09245 (thanks!), but I don't think the other part is a good idea if it makes the user experience unpredictable.
