Enum BufferDisplay 

pub enum BufferDisplay {
    Popup(PopupPlacement),
    FloatingPopup(PopupPlacement),
    ActivePane,
    Split(SplitOrientation),
}

Where to put a buffer the App is about to display.

Renderer-agnostic: a future GPUI / web renderer maps these variants to its own surfaces. The TUI maps Popup to the existing centred-or-anchored overlay, FloatingPopup to the hover-style overlay (popup floats; the doc keeps focus), ActivePane to the :lsp-log-style swap-active-pane path, and Split to a horizontal / vertical split via the pane tree.

Variants

Popup(PopupPlacement)

Focused overlay – the popup gains focus, the underlying document is paused. Used by :lsp-status / :describe-* / :apropos / etc. Carries its own placement (cursor-anchored vs centred).

FloatingPopup(PopupPlacement)

Floating overlay – the popup paints on top, but the document keeps focus. Cursor motion in the doc auto-dismisses (via the hover-mode minor contract). Used by hover (K) and signature help.

ActivePane

Replace the active pane’s buffer with this one. The previous buffer stays in the registry; pane history / <C-^> (post v1) returns to it.

Split(SplitOrientation)

Split the active pane (orientation-dependent) and open the buffer in the new pane. The new pane gains focus, matching vim’s :help / :vert help.

Implementations
