Post Body

I'm using ALE and have mapped <Tab> in normal mode to display a more detailed message on a warning/error (nmap <Tab> <Plug>(ale_detail)). This pops up in a new window with a "Press ENTER or type command to continue", and I would like to close it with <Tab> too. That doesn't seem to work, however, since only enter/space redraw the window.

I tried using a map expression to conditionally map <Tab> to <CR>, but I'm not sure how I can check if the cursor is in a window like that. I tried pumvisible(), but I suppose it's not a "pop-up menu" because that didn't work.

Any suggestions for how I can do this?
