Option to disable popups for ui#input

[shaunbalnave]

I find the command line the more natural place to for example input the new name of a wiki page when calling wiki-page-rename (or something near the bottom like the telescope layout strategy "bottom_pane"). Wondering if you could add an option to disable the use of popups for ui#input? (sorry if it's there already and I missed it.)

That's fair!

Nope, this is not there; I'll add it. I think I'll add something like this:

let g:wiki_ui_method = {
      \ 'input': 'legacy',
      \ 'confirm': 'legacy',
      \ 'select': 'nvim',
      \}

Where the defaults will be nvim on Neovim and legacy else. I want to call it "legacy", because it utilizes the "old" input() functions.

What do you think?

I've added a first version now, please test. If you update, then you can use configuration similar to what I proposed above.

That's a good solution, thank you! I like the separation of input, confirm and select, I think legacy is good mainly for renames, since I check the status line for the current filename first so my eyes are already at the command line (and I'm used to using vim-eunuch to :Rename at the command line too)

Great, I'm glad you like the solution!

One of the core ideas behind adding these popups was actually aligned to what you are writing. I found I was using these things while my eyes where focusing on the cursor, so having the popups there seemed more convenient :)
