Allow opening floating windows not relative to the cursor about aerial.nvim HOT 3 CLOSED

Added some config options for different relative floats, and made the width/height options more flexible (you can specify percentages, rows/cols, or both). There's an escape hatch in config.float.override that will let you customize any of the values if you want.

Give it a try! Let me know if the defaults make sense. I also had to rework a decent chunk of the existing width calculation logic, so let me know if you find any bugs.

Oops, sorry for the delay, totally thought I had already responded.

Thank you very much! I played around with it a bit, and everything seems to be working. Nice work!

Yeah, the defaults seem pretty reasonable.

(Note: I'm personally using something a bit more customized (in Yuescript):

                override: (conf) ->
                    local stats = vim.api.nvim_list_uis![1]
                    local width = stats.width
                    local height = stats.height - 1 -- to account for the statusline
                    local padding_x = math.floor(0.1 * width)
                    local padding_y = math.floor(0.1 * height)

                    conf.width = width - 2*padding_x
                    conf.height = height - 2*padding_y
                    conf.row = padding_y - 1
                    conf.col = padding_x - 1
                    conf.anchor = "NW"

                    conf

I think that you should be able to get a similar layout with:

require('aerial').setup({
  float = {
    relative = 'editor',
    width = 0.8,
    max_width = 0.8,
    height = 0.8,
    max_height = 0.8,
  }
})

But regardless, glad it's working for you!
