Account for right panel like nvim-tree

[dlvhdr]

I use nvim-tree on the right side, and what happens is that notifier will overlap with it, when it display notifications.
Is it possible to configure the offset from the right edge of the screen?

• In lualine I'm doing this to account for the file tree:

local nvim_tree_shift = {
  function()
    local empty_space = string.rep(" ", vim.api.nvim_win_get_width(tree_view.get_winnr())
    return empty_space
  end,
  cond = require("nvim-tree").view.is_visible,
}

• In bufferline (which I don't use) they do it this way:

>
    offsets = {
        {
            filetype = "NvimTree",
            text = "File Explorer",
            highlight = "Directory"
            separator = true -- use a "true" to enable the default, or set your own character
        }
    }
<

The `filetype` is used to check whether a particular window is a match, the
`text` is *optional* and will show above the window if specified.

I like this approach.

WDYT?

Hi, this indeed seems to be a concern.

As of now, the position of the UI is computed relative to the editor window (see here).

I see two paths to be taken:

• either allow an offset (maybe static first) as a configuration option, to allow for this kind of behavior
• allow to chose how we display the UI: relative to the editor or the current window.

The general idea though is a 100% valid, and I'll classify that as a bug.
