This will allow completions to use the same format that is typical to a package's default format, e.g. typing TAB in the 'C-x d' minibuffer could display completions in the the *Completions* buffer in Dired format: Click on a completion to select it. In this buffer, type RET to select the completion near point. Possible completions are: -rw-rw-r-- 1 185,205 2020-11-14 21:52 minibuffer.el -rw-rw-r-- 1 8,386 2020-11-14 21:52 minibuf-eldef.el … 'M-x package-install RET a TAB' could display completions in 'package' format: Click on a completion to select it. In this buffer, type RET to select the completion near point. Possible completions are: ada-mode 7.1.4 available gnu major-mode for editing Ada sources ada-ref-man 2020.1 available gnu Ada Reference Manual 2012 … 'C-x b' - completions with the format of 'list-buffers', etc.
