Does not work on terminal emacs

Doesn't seem to work on terminal emacs. When I enable the mode in terminal emacs vs using my init file, it does not work.

It's by design. Terminal Emacs doesn't play nicely with child frames, so mini-frame is disabled on non graphical displays.

Damn, I was hoping this was a terminal-compatible replacement for posframe library.

I'd also be interested in something like mini-frame but for terminals. If someone has an alternative please do share. Thanks!

Just a note.

Emacs-mini-frame on terminal is really desirable :)

Just a note (2).

Maybe something in the lines of what the guys from lsp-mode made.

There's this "mini frame" for showing documentation.

Graphical mode:

And as you can see, moving the same session to terminal:

The little cute frame is also shown :)

Maybe this is one possible way to implement it.

@LionyxML It's really cute :) But it is not a frame. It's an overlay. See https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-ui/blob/295d8984da06a745b0a36c56e28ce915bc389adb/lsp-ui-doc.el#L828. I don't think it is possible to display minibuffer in overlay.
