[Phantoms] Layout Above request

[TerminalFi]

Problem description

Currently Sublime implementation of Phantoms support various layout formats. sublime.LAYOUT_INLINE sublime.LAYOUT_BELOW sublime.LAYOUT_BLOCK

There should be however a sublime.LAYOUT_ABOVE option as well. Currently this can be achieved by getting the current line and subtracting 1 to get the previous line. And inserting the phantom that way.

Preferred solution

Add a sublime.LAYOUT_ABOVE position flag

Alternatives

No suitable alternatives

Preferred solution
Add a sublime.LAYOUT_BELOW position flag

I assume you mean sublime.LAYOUT_ABOVE here?

[TerminalFi]

Heh, yup thanks for that! Fixed

No, that makes the phantom behave oddly in case the buffer is modified in that region.

and it doesn't help for the use case of a phantom above the first line ;)

This is true, I guess there is no proper alternative at the moment
