Present popup/lint details over code rather than popping lines down

[rundis]

I guess you are using a codemirror line widget which when you display the widget, pops all lines down when displaying it.

I think I'd prefer the way the autocompleter dropdown works in LT and how I have implemented it in elm-light where the popup is displayed over the code (but positioned under the marked error of course).

Might be a bit of hassle to implement, but hopefully possible even though you are using the codemirror plugin ?

See images:

Maybe with some transparency for good show too ! :-)

The codemirror plugin uses mouseovers to trigger the information box (which I hate, so I explicitly got rid of with some CSS).

However, I think this is a preference thing, so happy to add as a setting users can switch between (personally I like the inline doc feature of LT which is what this makes use of).

I'll take a look and see how you do it in elmlight.
