06:43 UTC Revision 1 . . . . Marcin BorkowskiSome time ago I wrote about making Emacs display things without actually modifying any buffer. I used text properties then, and I mentioned that a similar thing could be done using overlays, too. Well, it turns out that there exists a very interesting function in Emacs (and it indeed uses overlays internally), which could be of help in a situation like that: momentary-string-display.
