How to change the location of the minibuffer in Emacs?

Question

I'm tired of looking at the minibuffer, which is the bottom of Emacs. Therefore, I want to minimize eye movement. Is there a solution for this? I want something like the following.

• Setting the minibach location at the top of the current frame (I don’t know if it is effective or not.)
• If I typed Mx, minibuf will display the center of the current frame (I think it is effective.)

Answer 1

I find it helps to always have a minibuffer in one place on my screen --- IOW, a standalone minibuffer frame. Yes, this is due to eye movement, but always at the same place. You may find this helps. See the library oneonone.elfor a simple implementation.
