## What it is
A Neovim plugin that previews LSP definitions, type definitions, implementations, declarations, and references in floating windows instead of jumping to a new buffer. It is written in Lua and requires Neovim 0.10 or later.

## Use cases
- preview code definitions in neovim without leaving current buffer
- peek at type definitions and implementations using lsp floating windows
- browse references in a telescope picker inside neovim
- avoid jumping between files when navigating code in neovim
- stack multiple floating preview windows while reading code

## When to choose
- you use Neovim 0.10+ with a configured LSP and want non-disruptive definition previews
- you prefer floating-window navigation over opening new buffers or splits
- you want configurable pickers (telescope, fzf-lua, snacks, mini.pick) for cycling references

## When to avoid
- you are on Neovim older than 0.10 and cannot upgrade
- you prefer traditional split-window or tab-based navigation for definitions
- you do not use LSP features in your editor setup
