And speaking about *Completions*, would it be possible to fill the completions column-first, not row-first as it is now? I find it quite unreasonable, as the display is column-wise, but not so filling, making it harder to quickly skim through the list. (my English is not perfect, so in case it is not clear from the above description: currently, the completions come like this: aaaa aaaab abb abbbb bbb bccc ccc dddd whereas more sensible (because of the column-wise display) IMHO would be: aaaa bbb aaaab bccc abb ccc abbbb dddd ) Regards, Štěpán
