When 'completeopt' contains "popup", this option specifies the
properties of the info popup when it is created. If an info popup
window already exists it is closed, so that the option value is
applied when it is created again.
You can also use |popup_findinfo()| and then set properties for an
existing info popup with |popup_setoptions()|. See |complete-popup|.
The option is a comma-separated list of values:
align "item" (default) or "menu"
border border style:
"single" thin box-drawing characters
"double" double-line
"round" rounded corners
"ascii" ASCII characters (-, |, +)
"custom:X;X;X;X;X;X;X;X"
eight characters separated by
semicolons, in the order: top,
right, bottom, left, topleft,

"on" same as "double" when
'encoding' is "utf-8" and
'ambiwidth' is "single", else

"off" no border

close show close button: "on" (default) or "off"
height maximum height of the popup

shadow "off" (default) or "on" using |hl-PmenuShadow|

When "align" is set to "item", the popup is positioned near the
selected item and moves as the selection changes.
When set to "menu", the popup aligns with the top of the menu (if the
menu appears below the text) or with the bottom (if it appears above).
The close button and resize handle are shown on the popup border only
when 'mouse' is enabled.
After creation, the info popup can be located with |popup_findinfo()|
and modified using |popup_setoptions()|. See also: |complete-popup|.
