Hi folks,
Does anyone know if there is a plugin for Emacs that offers like a popup where you search recent files.
Right now I use counsel and it works in minibuffer below…but I saw a video where you could have that working like a mid-screen popup and search files.
I’m not suggesting the posframe solutions others have suggested also suffer from this behaviour.
Then what was the point of the rest of the comment?
Posframes (child frames) always display on top of the root Emacs frame. Modal dialogs like menu-set-font are OS windows which do suffer from the problem you mentioned… except for the vast majority of systems where they just display on the right workspace by default.
When I wrote hypop, I specifically make it find the workspace Emacs is on to summon the minibuffer window to. It’s really not that hard at a small scale.
