Enforce vim script implementation to reduce ambiguities and improve robustness:

scriptversion 4

set_compact() → None

Configure layout based on window size.

The full register listing — with its extra whitespace — feels cleaner to me, so let’s use it if we can.

Note

This is configured so far beyond the normal way because the system() calls and processing take a non-negligible amount of time to run, and it affects time-to-first-window enough to be worth the effort.

function plugins#vim_peekaboo#set_compact() abort
    if exists('$DISPLAY') && executable('xdotool')
        silent let s:win_geometry =
        \   system('xdotool getwindowgeometry --shell ' ..
        \          (v:windowid ?? $WINDOWID))
        let s:win_height = str2nr(substitute(s:win_geometry,
        \                                    '.*HEIGHT=\([0-9]\+\).*',
        \                                    '\1', ''))
        let g:peekaboo_compact = s:win_height < 800
    else
        let g:peekaboo_compact = v:false
    endif
endfunction

Note

The window size tests aren’t bulletproof, but appear to function reasonably well.
