How could you display completion candidates without moving the modeline? I suppose what you have in mind is posframes? But posframes are a completely different beast, and don't work in terminals AFAIK. For that matter, I also don't understand why users "don't like such jumps even once". The point is to make some room to display some information, the same happens in many cases, like when *Completions* is opened, or with popular packages such as Magit or which-key. > > Also if the number of completions is less than the default 10, then a > lot of empty lines separate completions from the minibuffer. > That could be tweaked, perhaps. But I'm not sure it's worth the price.
