show_overlay documentation?

#1

I’m interested in learning what the show_overlay command can do. When I search my existing packages directory for usage examples, I only find two overlays, one is “command_palette” (which is documented), and the other is “goto” which seems to be able to show files or find some spots in the current file (line numbers via “:”, words via “#” and functions and the like via “@”).

Any hints appreciated.

As explained by adzenith elsewhere (https://forum.sublimetext.com/t/hook-into-show-overlay/3523/1#p19366), I’m looking for Window.show_quick_panel for the more complex stuff, and I guess I’ve found all features of show_overlay by browsing the source code…
