[Vim 9.0 added virtual text](vim/vim#7553) By default it seems LSP diagnostics are using it, but unfortunately the virtual text is displayed in line with the buffer (causing the vertical text to move) instead of a popup window or something else. When used with e.g. vim-go this causes a pretty constant flux of changes in the buffer space while doing simple edits which is very annoying and difficult to use (imo). Seting `lsp_diagnostics_virtual_text_enabled = 0` restores the behavior of vim 8.2 where the diagnostics information is displayed in the vim `command line` area.

This makes it stop in the middle of the screen when paging down further would just result in only the final line of the file being down. The BT vim experience just stops paging down when you hit the final line, so it sometimes shows more or less of half a page, so this isn't 1 to 1... but it's close enough, and more importantly, it's useful.

By default it seems LSP diagnostics are using it, but unfortunately the virtual text is displayed in line with the buffer (causing the vertical text to move) instead of a popup window or something else.
When used with e.g. vim-go, this causes a pretty constant flux of changes in the buffer space while doing simple edits which is very annoying and difficult to use (imo).
