--- @param buffer integer Buffer to display, or 0 for current buffer
--- @param enter boolean Enter the window (make it the current window)
--- @param config vim.api.keyset.win_config Map defining the window configuration. Keys:
---- • relative: Sets the window layout to "floating", placed at
---- (row,col) coordinates relative to:
---- • "editor" The global editor grid
---- • "win" Window given by the `win` field, or current
---- window.
---- • "cursor" Cursor position in current window.
---- • "mouse" Mouse position
---- • win: `window-ID` window to split, or relative window when
---- creating a float (relative="win").
---- • anchor: Decides which corner of the float to place at
---- (row,col):
---- • "NW" northwest (default)
---- • "NE" northeast
---- • "SW" southwest
---- • "SE" southeast
---- • width: Window width (in character cells). Minimum of 1.
---- • height: Window height (in character cells). Minimum of 1.
---- • bufpos: Places float relative to buffer text (only when
---- relative="win"). Takes a tuple of zero-indexed
---- `[line, column]`. `row` and `col` if given are applied
---- relative to this position, else they default to:
---- • `row=1` and `col=0` if `anchor` is "NW" or "NE"
---- • `row=0` and `col=0` if `anchor` is "SW" or "SE" (thus
---- like a tooltip near the buffer text).
---- • row: Row position in units of "screen cell height", may be
---- fractional.
---- • col: Column position in units of "screen cell width", may
---- be fractional.
---- • focusable: Enable focus by user actions (wincmds, mouse
---- events). Defaults to true. Non-focusable windows can be
---- entered by `nvim_set_current_win()`.
---- • external: GUI should display the window as an external
---- top-level window. Currently accepts no other positioning
---- configuration together with this.
---- • zindex: Stacking order. floats with higher `zindex` go on
---- top on floats with lower indices. Must be larger than
---- zero. The following screen elements have hard-coded
---- z-indices:
---- • 100: insert completion popupmenu
---- • 200: message scrollback
---- • 250: cmdline completion popupmenu (when
---- wildoptions+=pum) The default value for floats are 50.
---- In general, values below 100 are recommended, unless
---- there is a good reason to overshadow builtin elements.
---- • style: (optional) Configure the appearance of the window.
---- Currently only supports one value:
---- • "minimal" Nvim will display the window with many UI
---- options disabled. This is useful when displaying a
---- temporary float where the text should not be edited.
---- Disables 'number', 'relativenumber', 'cursorline',
---- 'cursorcolumn', 'foldcolumn', 'spell' and 'list'
---- options. 'signcolumn' is changed to `auto` and
---- 'colorcolumn' is cleared. 'statuscolumn' is changed to
---- empty. The end-of-buffer region is hidden by setting
---- `eob` flag of 'fillchars' to a space char, and clearing
---- the `hl-EndOfBuffer` region in 'winhighlight'.
---- • border: Style of (optional) window border. This can either
---- be a string or an array. The string values are
---- • "none": No border (default).
---- • "single": A single line box.
---- • "double": A double line box.
---- • "rounded": Like "single", but with rounded corners
---- ("╭" etc.).
---- • "solid": Adds padding by a single whitespace cell.
---- • "shadow": A drop shadow effect by blending with the
---- background.
---- • If it is an array, it should have a length of eight or
---- any divisor of eight. The array will specify the eight
---- chars building up the border in a clockwise fashion
---- starting with the top-left corner. As an example, the
---- double box style could be specified as:
---- ```
---- [ "╔", "═" ,"╗", "║", "╝", "═", "╚", "║" ].
---- ```
----
---- If the number of chars are less than eight, they will be
---- repeated. Thus an ASCII border could be specified as
---- ```
---- [ "/", "-", \"\\\\\", "|" ],
---- ```
----
---- or all chars the same as
---- ```
---- [ "x" ].
---- ```
----
---- An empty string can be used to turn off a specific border,
---- for instance,
---- ```
---- [ "", "", "", ">", "", "", "", "<" ]
---- ```
----
---- will only make vertical borders but not horizontal ones.
---- By default, `FloatBorder` highlight is used, which links
---- to `WinSeparator` when not defined. It could also be
---- specified by character:
---- ```
---- [ ["+", "MyCorner"], ["x", "MyBorder"] ].
---- ```
----
---- • title: Title (optional) in window border, string or list.
---- List should consist of `[text, highlight]` tuples. If
---- string, the default highlight group is `FloatTitle`.
---- • title_pos: Title position. Must be set with `title`
---- option. Value can be one of "left", "center", or "right".
---- Default is `"left"`.
---- • footer: Footer (optional) in window border, string or
---- list. List should consist of `[text, highlight]` tuples.
---- If string, the default highlight group is `FloatFooter`.
---- • footer_pos: Footer position. Must be set with `footer`
---- option. Value can be one of "left", "center", or "right".
---- Default is `"left"`.
---- • noautocmd: If true then all autocommands are blocked for
---- the duration of the call.
---- • fixed: If true when anchor is NW or SW, the float window
---- would be kept fixed even if the window would be truncated.
---- • hide: If true the floating window will be hidden.
---- • vertical: Split vertically `:vertical`.
---- • split: Split direction: "left", "right", "above", "below".
