Dialogs

What are dialogs

The messages to the users are shown in dialog windows. There are two types of dialogs:

• Popup dialogs - the messages are shown in a popup window.
• Dialogs in the editor - the messages are shown in the editor.

The popup dialogs in some OS don't support scrolling, so they are not very good for long messages. The text from the pupup dialogs can't be copied to the clipboard.

The dialogs in the editor support scrolling, so they are good for long messages. The text from the pupup dialogs can be copied to the clipboard.

How to use them

llama-vscode uses popup dialogs for short messages and dialogs in the editor for long messages.
The setting popup_max_chars (default 160) determines the maximum number of characters in the popup dialogs. If the message is longer than this number, it will be shown in a dialog in the editor.

Settings:

• popup_max_chars - determines what message to the user should be shown in a popup dialog (less than this number). If the message is longer, it will be shown in a dialog in the editor.
