| 19 | 1. Introduction *popup-intro* |
| 20 | |
Bram Moolenaar | 5c017b2 | 2019-05-21 23:09:01 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 21 | We are talking about popup windows here, text that goes on top of the regular |
| 22 | windows and is under control of a plugin. You cannot edit the text in the |
| 23 | popup window like with regular windows. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | A popup window can be used for such things as: |
Bram Moolenaar | 68e6560 | 2019-05-26 21:33:31 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 26 | - briefly show a message without overwriting the command line |
Bram Moolenaar | 5c017b2 | 2019-05-21 23:09:01 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 27 | - prompt the user with a dialog |
Bram Moolenaar | 4d784b2 | 2019-05-25 19:51:39 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 28 | - display contextual information while typing |
Bram Moolenaar | 5c017b2 | 2019-05-21 23:09:01 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 29 | - give extra information for auto-completion |
| 30 | |
| 31 | The text in the popup window can be colored with |text-properties|. It is |
| 32 | also possible to use syntax highlighting. |
| 33 | |
Bram Moolenaar | 4d784b2 | 2019-05-25 19:51:39 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 34 | The default color used is "Pmenu". If you prefer something else use the |
| 35 | "highlight" argument or the 'wincolor' option, e.g.: > |
| 36 | hi MyPopupColor ctermbg=lightblue guibg=lightblue |
| 37 | call setwinvar(winid, '&wincolor', 'MyPopupColor') |
| 38 | |
Bram Moolenaar | 68d48f4 | 2019-06-12 22:42:41 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 39 | 'hlsearch' highlighting is not displayed in a popup window. |
Bram Moolenaar | 4d784b2 | 2019-05-25 19:51:39 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 40 | |
Bram Moolenaar | 5c017b2 | 2019-05-21 23:09:01 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 41 | A popup window has a window-ID like other windows, but behaves differently. |
| 42 | The size can be up to the whole Vim window and it overlaps other windows. |
Bram Moolenaar | fc06cbb | 2019-06-15 14:14:31 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 43 | Popup windows can also overlap each other. The "zindex" property specifies |
| 44 | what goes on top of what. |
Bram Moolenaar | 68e6560 | 2019-05-26 21:33:31 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 45 | |
| 46 | The popup window contains a buffer, and that buffer is always associated with |
Bram Moolenaar | fc06cbb | 2019-06-15 14:14:31 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 47 | the popup window. The window cannot be in Normal, Visual or Insert mode, it |
| 48 | does not get keyboard focus. You can use functions like `setbufline()` to |
Bram Moolenaar | 68e6560 | 2019-05-26 21:33:31 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 49 | change the text in the buffer. There are more differences from how this |
| 50 | window and buffer behave compared to regular windows and buffers, see |
| 51 | |popup-buffer|. |
Bram Moolenaar | 5c017b2 | 2019-05-21 23:09:01 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 52 | |
| 53 | If this is not what you are looking for, check out other popup functionality: |
Bram Moolenaar | 957f85d | 2019-05-12 21:43:48 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 54 | - popup menu, see |popup-menu| |
| 55 | - balloon, see |balloon-eval| |

Bram Moolenaar | 4d784b2 | 2019-05-25 19:51:39 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 58 | WINDOW POSITION AND SIZE *popup-position* |
| 59 | |
Bram Moolenaar | 68e6560 | 2019-05-26 21:33:31 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 60 | The height of the window is normally equal to the number of, possibly |
| 61 | wrapping, lines in the buffer. It can be limited with the "maxheight" |
Bram Moolenaar | 7dd64a3 | 2019-05-31 21:41:05 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 62 | property. You can use empty lines to increase the height or the "minheight" |
| 63 | property. |
Bram Moolenaar | 4d784b2 | 2019-05-25 19:51:39 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 64 | |
| 65 | The width of the window is normally equal to the longest line in the buffer. |
| 66 | It can be limited with the "maxwidth" property. You can use spaces to |
Bram Moolenaar | 68d48f4 | 2019-06-12 22:42:41 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 67 | increase the width or use the "minwidth" property. |
Bram Moolenaar | 4d784b2 | 2019-05-25 19:51:39 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 68 | |
Bram Moolenaar | 042fb4b | 2019-06-02 14:49:56 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 69 | By default the 'wrap' option is set, so that no text disappears. Otherwise, |
| 70 | if there is not enough space then the window is shifted left in order to |
Bram Moolenaar | 2e62b56 | 2019-06-30 18:07:00 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 71 | display more text. When right-aligned the window is shifted right to display |
| 72 | more text. The shifting can be disabled with the "fixed" property. |
Bram Moolenaar | 4d784b2 | 2019-05-25 19:51:39 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 73 | |
Bram Moolenaar | 7dd64a3 | 2019-05-31 21:41:05 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 74 | Vim tries to show the popup in the location you specify. In some cases, e.g. |
| 75 | when the popup would go outside of the Vim window, it will show it somewhere |
Bram Moolenaar | 2e62b56 | 2019-06-30 18:07:00 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 76 | nearby. E.g. if you use `popup_atcursor()` the popup normally shows just above |
Bram Moolenaar | 7dd64a3 | 2019-05-31 21:41:05 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 77 | the current cursor position, but if the cursor is close to the top of the Vim |
| 78 | window it will be placed below the cursor position. |
| 79 | |
Bram Moolenaar | 12ee7ff | 2019-06-10 22:47:40 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 80 | When the screen scrolls up for output of an Ex command, popups move too, so |
| 81 | that they will not cover the output. |
Bram Moolenaar | 4d784b2 | 2019-05-25 19:51:39 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 82 | |
Bram Moolenaar | 68d48f4 | 2019-06-12 22:42:41 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 83 | The current cursor position is displayed even when it is under a popup window. |
| 84 | That way you can still see where it is, even though you cannot see the text |
| 85 | that it is in. |

Bram Moolenaar | 2e62b56 | 2019-06-30 18:07:00 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 88 | CLOSING THE POPUP WINDOW *popup-close* |
| 89 | |
| 90 | Normally the plugin that created the popup window is also in charge of closing |
| 91 | it. If somehow a popup hangs around, you can close all of them with: > |
| 92 | call popup_clear() |
| 93 | Some popups, such as notifications, close after a specified time. This can be |
| 94 | set with the "time" property on `popup_create()`. |
| 95 | Otherwise, a popup can be closed by clicking on the X in the top-right corner |
| 96 | or by clicking anywhere inside the popup. This must be enabled with the |
| 97 | "close" property. It is set by default for notifications. |

| 455 | - a list of strings |
| 456 | - a list of dictionaries, where each dictionary has these entries: |
| 457 | text String with the text to display. |
Bram Moolenaar | 957f85d | 2019-05-12 21:43:48 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 458 | props A list of text properties. Optional. |
| 459 | Each entry is a dictionary, like the third argument of |
| 460 | |prop_add()|, but specifying the column in the |
| 461 | dictionary with a "col" entry, see below: |
| 462 | |popup-props|. |

Bram Moolenaar | 5c017b2 | 2019-05-21 23:09:01 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 464 | The second argument of |popup_create()| is a dictionary with options: |
Bram Moolenaar | 042fb4b | 2019-06-02 14:49:56 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 465 | line Screen line where to position the popup. Can use a |
Bram Moolenaar | ac1f1bc | 2019-05-30 21:24:26 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 466 | number or "cursor", "cursor+1" or "cursor-1" to use |
| 467 | the line of the cursor and add or subtract a number of |
Bram Moolenaar | 042fb4b | 2019-06-02 14:49:56 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 468 | lines. If omitted the popup is vertically centered. |
| 469 | The first line is 1. |
| 470 | col Screen column where to position the popup. Can use a |
Bram Moolenaar | ac1f1bc | 2019-05-30 21:24:26 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 471 | number or "cursor" to use the column of the cursor, |
Bram Moolenaar | 042fb4b | 2019-06-02 14:49:56 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 472 | "cursor+9" or "cursor-9" to add or subtract a number |
| 473 | of columns. If omitted the popup is horizontally |
| 474 | centered. The first column is 1. |
Bram Moolenaar | 957f85d | 2019-05-12 21:43:48 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 475 | pos "topleft", "topright", "botleft" or "botright": |
| 476 | defines what corner of the popup "line" and "col" are |
Bram Moolenaar | 8c2a600 | 2019-05-30 14:29:45 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 477 | used for. When not set "topleft" is used. |
| 478 | Alternatively "center" can be used to position the |
Bram Moolenaar | ac1f1bc | 2019-05-30 21:24:26 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 479 | popup in the center of the Vim window, in which case |

Bram Moolenaar | 042fb4b | 2019-06-02 14:49:56 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 481 | fixed When FALSE (the default), and: |
| 482 | - "pos" is "botleft" or "topleft", and |
| 483 | - "wrap" is off, and |
| 484 | - the popup would be truncated at the right edge of |
| 485 | the screen, then |
| 486 | the popup is moved to the left so as to fit the |
| 487 | contents on the screen. Set to TRUE to disable this. |
| 488 | flip When TRUE (the default) and the position is relative |
Bram Moolenaar | 5c017b2 | 2019-05-21 23:09:01 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 489 | to the cursor, flip to below or above the cursor to |

Bram Moolenaar | 042fb4b | 2019-06-02 14:49:56 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 520 | wrap TRUE to make the lines wrap (default TRUE). |
Bram Moolenaar | b53fb31 | 2019-06-13 23:59:52 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 521 | drag TRUE to allow the popup to be dragged with the mouse |
| 522 | by grabbing at at the border. Has no effect if the |
Bram Moolenaar | dc2ce58 | 2019-06-16 15:32:14 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 523 | popup does not have a border. As soon as dragging |
| 524 | starts and "pos" is "center" it is changed to |
| 525 | "topleft". |
Bram Moolenaar | 2e62b56 | 2019-06-30 18:07:00 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 526 | close When "button" an X is displayed in the top-right, on |
| 527 | top of any border, padding or text. When clicked on |
| 528 | the X the popup will close. Any callback is invoked |
| 529 | with the value -2. |
| 530 | When "click" any mouse click in the popup will close |
| 531 | it. |
| 532 | When "none" (the default) mouse clicks do not close |
| 533 | the popup window. |
Bram Moolenaar | 042fb4b | 2019-06-02 14:49:56 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 534 | highlight Highlight group name to use for the text, stored in |
| 535 | the 'wincolor' option. |
| 536 | padding List with numbers, defining the padding |
| 537 | above/right/below/left of the popup (similar to CSS). |
| 538 | An empty list uses a padding of 1 all around. The |
| 539 | padding goes around the text, inside any border. |
| 540 | Padding uses the 'wincolor' highlight. |
| 541 | Example: [1, 2, 1, 3] has 1 line of padding above, 2 |
| 542 | columns on the right, 1 line below and 3 columns on |
| 543 | the left. |
| 544 | border List with numbers, defining the border thickness |
| 545 | above/right/below/left of the popup (similar to CSS). |
| 546 | Only values of zero and non-zero are recognized. |
| 547 | An empty list uses a border all around. |
| 548 | borderhighlight List of highlight group names to use for the border. |
| 549 | When one entry it is used for all borders, otherwise |
| 550 | the highlight for the top/right/bottom/left border. |
| 551 | Example: ['TopColor', 'RightColor', 'BottomColor, |
| 552 | 'LeftColor'] |
| 553 | borderchars List with characters, defining the character to use |
| 554 | for the top/right/bottom/left border. Optionally |
Bram Moolenaar | 957f85d | 2019-05-12 21:43:48 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 555 | followed by the character to use for the |
Bram Moolenaar | 042fb4b | 2019-06-02 14:49:56 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 556 | topleft/topright/botright/botleft corner. |
| 557 | Example: ['-', '|', '-', '|', '┌', '┐', '┘', '└'] |
| 558 | When the list has one character it is used for all. |
| 559 | When the list has two characters the first is used for |
| 560 | the border lines, the second for the corners. |
| 561 | By default a double line is used all around when |
Bram Moolenaar | 6c1e157 | 2019-06-22 02:13:00 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 562 | 'encoding' is "utf-8" and 'ambiwidth' is "single", |
Bram Moolenaar | a3fce62 | 2019-06-20 02:31:49 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 563 | otherwise ASCII characters are used. |
Bram Moolenaar | 75fb085 | 2019-06-25 05:15:58 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 564 | scrollbar non-zero: show a scrollbar when the text doesn't fit. |
| 565 | zero: do not show a scrollbar. Default is non-zero. |
Bram Moolenaar | f9c85f5 | 2019-06-29 07:41:35 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 566 | Also see |popup-scrollbar|. |
| 567 | scrollbarhighlight Highlight group name for the scrollbar. The |
| 568 | background color is what matters. When not given then |
| 569 | PmenuSbar is used. |
| 570 | thumbhighlight Highlight group name for the scrollbar thumb. The |
| 571 | background color is what matters. When not given then |
| 572 | PmenuThumb is used. |
Bram Moolenaar | b53fb31 | 2019-06-13 23:59:52 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 573 | zindex Priority for the popup, default 50. Minimum value is |
Bram Moolenaar | 3ff5f0f | 2019-06-10 13:11:22 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 574 | 1, maximum value is 32000. |

Bram Moolenaar | 042fb4b | 2019-06-02 14:49:56 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 577 | time Time in milliseconds after which the popup will close. |
| 578 | When omitted |popup_close()| must be used. |
Bram Moolenaar | 3397f74 | 2019-06-02 18:40:06 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 579 | moved Specifies to close the popup if the cursor moved: |
| 580 | - "any": if the cursor moved at all |
| 581 | - "word": if the cursor moved outside |<cword>| |
| 582 | - "WORD": if the cursor moved outside |<cWORD>| |
| 583 | - [{start}, {end}]: if the cursor moved before column |
| 584 | {start} or after {end} |
| 585 | The popup also closes if the cursor moves to another |
| 586 | line or to another window. |
Bram Moolenaar | 12ee7ff | 2019-06-10 22:47:40 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 587 | filter A callback that can filter typed characters, see |
Bram Moolenaar | 042fb4b | 2019-06-02 14:49:56 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 588 | |popup-filter|. |
| 589 | callback A callback that is called when the popup closes, e.g. |
| 590 | when using |popup_filter_menu()|, see |popup-callback|. |
Bram Moolenaar | 957f85d | 2019-05-12 21:43:48 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 591 | |
| 592 | Depending on the "zindex" the popup goes under or above other popups. The |
| 593 | completion menu (|popup-menu|) has zindex 100. For messages that occur for a |
| 594 | short time the suggestion is to use zindex 1000. |
| 595 | |
| 596 | By default text wraps, which causes a line in {lines} to occupy more than one |
| 597 | screen line. When "wrap" is FALSE then the text outside of the popup or |
| 598 | outside of the Vim window will not be displayed, thus truncated. |
| 599 | |

| 601 | POPUP TEXT PROPERTIES *popup-props* |
| 602 | |
Bram Moolenaar | 7a8d027 | 2019-05-26 23:32:06 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 603 | These are similar to the third argument of |prop_add()| except: |
| 604 | - "lnum" is always the current line in the list |
| 605 | - "bufnr" is always the buffer of the popup |
| 606 | - "col" is in the Dict instead of a separate argument |
Bram Moolenaar | 7a8d027 | 2019-05-26 23:32:06 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 607 | So we get: |
Bram Moolenaar | 957f85d | 2019-05-12 21:43:48 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 608 | col starting column, counted in bytes, use one for the |
| 609 | first column. |
| 610 | length length of text in bytes; can be zero |
Bram Moolenaar | 7a8d027 | 2019-05-26 23:32:06 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 611 | end_lnum line number for the end of the text |
Bram Moolenaar | 957f85d | 2019-05-12 21:43:48 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 612 | end_col column just after the text; not used when "length" is |
| 613 | present; when {col} and "end_col" are equal, this is a |
| 614 | zero-width text property |
| 615 | id user defined ID for the property; when omitted zero is |
| 616 | used |
| 617 | type name of the text property type, as added with |
| 618 | |prop_type_add()| |
Bram Moolenaar | 957f85d | 2019-05-12 21:43:48 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 619 | |

| 621 | POPUP FILTER *popup-filter* |
| 622 | |
Bram Moolenaar | 5c017b2 | 2019-05-21 23:09:01 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 623 | A callback that gets any typed keys while a popup is displayed. The filter is |
Bram Moolenaar | 4d784b2 | 2019-05-25 19:51:39 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 624 | not invoked when the popup is hidden. |
Bram Moolenaar | 5c017b2 | 2019-05-21 23:09:01 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 625 | |
| 626 | The filter can return TRUE to indicate the key has been handled and is to be |
| 627 | discarded, or FALSE to let Vim handle the key as usual in the current state. |
Bram Moolenaar | 4d784b2 | 2019-05-25 19:51:39 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 628 | In case it returns FALSE and there is another popup window visible, that |
| 629 | filter is also called. The filter of the popup window with the highest zindex |
| 630 | is called first. |
Bram Moolenaar | 957f85d | 2019-05-12 21:43:48 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 631 | |
| 632 | The filter function is called with two arguments: the ID of the popup and the |
Bram Moolenaar | a42d945 | 2019-06-15 21:46:30 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 633 | key as a string, e.g.: > |

| 637 | return 1 |
| 638 | endif |
| 639 | if a:key == 'x' |
| 640 | call popup_close(a:winid) |
| 641 | return 1 |
| 642 | endif |
| 643 | return 0 |

Bram Moolenaar | 957f85d | 2019-05-12 21:43:48 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 657 | Vim provides standard filters |popup_filter_menu()| and |

| 659 | |
Bram Moolenaar | bf0eff0 | 2019-06-01 17:13:36 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 660 | Note that "x" is the normal way to close a popup. You may want to use Esc, |
| 661 | but since many keys start with an Esc character, there may be a delay before |
Bram Moolenaar | 3ff5f0f | 2019-06-10 13:11:22 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 662 | Vim recognizes the Esc key. If you do use Esc, it is recommended to set the |

| 666 | POPUP CALLBACK *popup-callback* |
| 667 | |
Bram Moolenaar | a42d945 | 2019-06-15 21:46:30 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 668 | A callback that is invoked when the popup closes. |
Bram Moolenaar | 9eaac89 | 2019-06-01 22:49:29 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 669 | |
| 670 | The callback is invoked with two arguments: the ID of the popup window and the |
| 671 | result, which could be an index in the popup lines, or whatever was passed as |
| 672 | the second argument of `popup_close()`. |
Bram Moolenaar | 957f85d | 2019-05-12 21:43:48 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 673 | |
Bram Moolenaar | a42d945 | 2019-06-15 21:46:30 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 674 | If the popup is force-closed, e.g. because the cursor moved or CTRL-C was |

| 679 | |
| 680 | If the text does not fit in the popup a scrollbar is displayed on the right of |
| 681 | the window. This can be disabled by setting the "scrollbar" option to zero. |
| 682 | When the scrollbar is displayed mouse scroll events, while the mouse pointer |
| 683 | is on the popup, will cause the text to scroll up or down as you would expect. |
| 684 | A click in the upper halve of the scrollbar will scroll the text one line |
| 685 | down. A click in the lower halve wil scroll the text one line up. However, |
| 686 | this is limited so that the popup does not get smaller. |

| 690 | |
| 691 | To minimize the text that the popup covers, parts of it can be made |
| 692 | transparent. This is defined by a "mask" which is a list of lists, where each |
| 693 | list has four numbers: |
| 694 | col start column, positive for counting from the left, 1 for |
| 695 | leftmost, negative for counting from the right, -1 for |
| 696 | rightmost |
| 697 | endcol last column, like "col" |
| 698 | line start line, positive for conting from the top, 1 for top, |
| 699 | negative for counting from the bottom, -1 for bottom |
| 700 | endline end line, like "line" |
| 701 | |
| 702 | For example, to make the last 10 columns of the last line transparent: |
| 703 | [[-10, -1, -1, -1]] |
| 704 | |
| 705 | To make the four corners transparent: |
| 706 | [[1, 1, 1, 1], [-1, -1, 1, 1], [1, 1, -1, -1], [-1, -1, -1, -1]] |
