Description
This is a featyre request, with cmp and signiture help, and the ghost text of copilot at the same time, the cursor is somehow expolded in all directions, it would be nice if we could configure the suggestion in floating window, away from the cursor, maybe at the corner of the page, the panel already exists but its not really practical in a sense that choosing the suggestion is not as trivial as the ghost text.
