I wonder how easy would be to improve Icomplete to display completions in the standard buffer *Completions* instead of the minibuffer? Then both use cases will be covered: 1. icomplete-vertical-mode for users who prefer vertical completions in the minibuffer; 2. vertical completions in *Completions* for users who don't like when the mode-line jumps up and down when completing. In this case the same icomplete keys could be used to navigate completions in the *Completions* buffer from the minibuffer with icomplete-forward-completions and icomplete-backward-completions, and icomplete-force-complete-and-exit to accept the selected completion.
