VIM Popup API

[blayz3r]

Can Echodoc be adapted to have a floating signature with Vim 8 like ycm-core/YouCompleteMe#234 (comment)

[Shougo]

current echodoc supports neovim floating window, but it doesn't support Vim8 floating API.

I have not the motivation. You can implement it!

hi， latest vim version has a new option: completeopt, which turn preview window into popup window automatically

completeopt is not new, and the popup option doesn't show the signature in the way echodoc does.

@blayz3r sorry about it. I mean completepopup. and completeopt has a new value popup.

We can implement following with 'completeopt and completepopup being set correctly.

[tracyone]

precondition is echodoc.vim must support show vim document in preview window.

and once it does, we don't need to care about the position and the size of popup window

[Shougo]

completepopup is replace of completeopt preview.
But it is not replace of echodoc.

Because, echodoc can print signature without popup menu.
