Open vimtex panel in float

[AllergicMushroom]

Is it possible to open the vimtex panel as a float? Similar to telescope, toggleterm, etc.

Can you elaborate, what do you mean with "vimtex panel"?

[AllergicMushroom]

The panel with the diagnostics, usually opened by `le'.

Ah, ok. Well, no, VimTeX does not have any such panel, it relies on the built-in quickfix feature. See :help quickfix for reference. The quickfix feature works very well and I have no plan to replace it with something new.

Now, you might be interested in looking into quickfix "enhancers". I know of a few things that might be interesting, but you should do your own research and choose to use something that looks interesting to you.

Thank you. I will look into enhancing the quickfix list as proposed.

Edit: I actually already have trouble installed. I'll switch to that instead of the quickfix list.

Notice, you should notice that there is a difference between the concept of diagnostics and that of quickfix. The latter is a legacy way of showing errors/warnings and is usually based on a legacy parser (the errorformats, see :help errorformat). diagnostics is a more modern and general take on this and is used e.g. for communication between language servers and neovim. I think Trouble has ways to sort of "move" the quickfix entries into your diagnostics stuff. But I'm not sure. :\

From my experience everything that appears in the quickfix list also appears in trouble. I hope nothing exists that can be in the quickfix list without being in trouble.
