float-preview.nvim

• Completion preview window based on neovim's floating window

With let g:float_preview#docked = 1:

With let g:float_preview#docked = 0:

Note that this is a general purpose plugin instead of ncm2 only, it applies to :help complete-items with info field available.

Why ？

Vim's builtin set completeopt+=preview is annoying. When the preview window is opened, it simply pumps text out of my eye spot. Which makes it very disturbing and actually unusable.

This plugin uses neovim's floating Window, it should never pumps text out of your eye spot.
