enable viewing fidget messages in bottom left-hand side of editor window

i'd love to be able to view the messages right above my statusline to the very left of the editor window. if it's not too much of a hassle to implement, of course! thanks in advance for your consideration 😄

I think I actually supported this in the legacy branch, and had reconsidered reimplementing it when I rewrote this plugin, but I must not have thought it a good enough idea to go through with it. In particular, the way the notification way blends with the text in the buffer always ends up looking nasty enough that I give up.

<rambling> I have been mulling over rewriting the display code to render the Fidget content using extmarks rather than fake buffer text, which might fix those blend issues and thus make left-aligned Fidget windows viable, but I don't have a timeline for that yet. </rambling>

thanks for the reply! i appreciate how troublesome this might get and I've hacked things a bit to see what it'd look like on the left-hand side and how it blends with the text around it. the border helps it stand out, as does the fact that what I choose to view is very minimal, just to show THAT lsp is grinding and doing something etc. in any case, if at all possible, maybe it's good to look into this at some point, when the time arises. 🙏

Hi, i was looking for a notification plugin , then i realized fidget has a whole notification subsystem.
My goal is to display some notifications on the left side where my attention goes for commands and error messages. You already have the possibility of overriding vim.notify.

But it's missing bottom left align which i consider vital for those kinds of notifications.
I could not figure out if the highlight can be changed according to some parameter either.
So that it could show notifications or error with different highlights.

In my case i always disable blending.

Summarizing :
to the left important messages , to the right messages that i might want to see .

Just food for thought!

Thanks for this great plugin.
