Re: Does popup_menu() functions asynchronous?

вт, 3 мар. 2026 г., 11:41 Piotr Kolasiński <ptkola@gmail.com>:

I try to use popup_menu() in linear code like:

——

func PopupResult(id, sel)

    let g:popup_sel = a:result

    echo "In popup: " .. g:result

endfunc

call popup_menu(["A","B","C"], #{ callback: 'PopupResult' })

echo 'After popup'

——-

but 'After popup' is displayed immediately, not waiting for finish the call. 

Does popup_menu works asynchronous? How can I execute such code in linear way?

Piotr

Hello,

No you can't. The good news is that you hardly ever need it. Just return and continue execution from the callback function. The way typical for _modeless_ dialogs.
