Hover moves the cursor on itself

[Shatur]

When I use lua require("dap.ui.variables").hover() my cursor moves inside the popup. Also, when I exit it, it does not disappear as it usually does with hover windows from LSP.

This is kinda by design so that you can expand nested variables. To close the window you can use CTRL-W_q

The native LSP float is now also enterable (the bug preventing that seemed to be fixed). So vim.lsp.util.open_floating_preview() could also replace or optionally replace popup (except that buf and win are swapped). I actually learned to like the new behavior with auto-entering.

Got it!
But how can I close or replace the window with another?

You could add an additional parameter to hover that creates the window and would use it when it's defined instead of popup https://github.com/theHamsta/nvim-dap/blob/724ea5aaa05dd7927d2745b7cf35a9f557e75c5c/lua/dap/ui/variables.lua#L275 . Additionally you would have to https://github.com/theHamsta/nvim-dap/blob/724ea5aaa05dd7927d2745b7cf35a9f557e75c5c/lua/dap/ui/variables.lua#L192-L213 to a separate function and apply it to the generated buffer. Or you let popup accept a window/buffer creation function.

You could also have a look what kind of option you can set with this line: https://github.com/theHamsta/nvim-dap/blob/724ea5aaa05dd7927d2745b7cf35a9f557e75c5c/lua/dap/ui/variables.lua#L192-L213

@Shatur Did you have a look if the widget API covers your needs?

[Shatur]

@mfussenegger, hm... yes, I think this solves my issue.
