Company childframe placement

[gjm]

What happened?

I have set up a bigger line height because I like my code to breathe.

(setq-local default-text-properties '(line-spacing 0.50 line-height 1.50))

When I use (company +childframe) the child frame overlaps the current line.

Is there a way to configure the child frame position?

According to :completion company - Doom Emacs v21.12 documentation , the +childframe option uses the package GitHub - sebastiencs/company-box: A company front-end with icons .

From the README of the package:

You can position the frame downwards by setting the variable company-box-frame-top-margin to a positive number. This is useful if your base code/text has an enlarged line height, and company box is intruding into the line above. It’s also useful, if you’re using copilot and want to see a few lines of suggested code unobscured by the company box. See PR #205 for details.

You can set the top margin mode-dependent via mode hooks, if you want. E.g. in Doom Emacs:

(use-package! company-box
  :defer t
  :config
  (setq-hook! 'prog-mode-hook
    company-box-frame-top-margin 20)
  (setq-hook! 'text-mode-hook
    company-box-frame-top-margin 75)
)
