I fully agree with you that "the entire prompt must always be visible". Icomplete does this, with the attached code. The entire prompt is always visible (*), and you can scroll the completion candidates with C-. and C-,. (*) Except of course in pathological cases, for example with (setq max-mini-window-height 1) and (set-frame-width nil 10). But in these cases nothing can be done. ---212064758-1996646362-1605115395=:17489 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; name=vertical-icomplete.el Content-Transfer-Encoding: BASE64 Content-ID: Content-Description: Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=vertical-icomplete.el KGRlZnZhci1sb2NhbCBzdGFydC1kaXNwbGF5LWF0LWJlZ2lubmluZy1vZi1t aW5pYnVmZmVyIG5pbCkNCihkZWZ1biBzdGFydC1kaXNwbGF5LWF0LWJlZ2lu bmluZy1vZi1taW5pYnVmZmVyICgmcmVzdCBhcmdzKQ0KICAod2hlbiAoYW5k IHN0YXJ0LWRpc3BsYXktYXQtYmVnaW5uaW5nLW9mLW1pbmlidWZmZXIgKG1p bmlidWZmZXJwKSkNCiAgICAoc2V0LXdpbmRvdy1zdGFydC1hdC1iZWdpbiAo cG9pbnQtbWluKSAocG9pbnQpKSkpDQooZGVmdW4gc2V0LXdpbmRvdy1zdGFy dC1hdC1iZWdpbiAoYmVnIGVuZCkNCiAgKHdoZW4gKDwgKCsgYmVnIDIpIGVu ZCkNCiAgICAoc2V0LXdpbmRvdy1zdGFydCBuaWwgYmVnKQ0KICAgICh1bmxl c3MgKHBvcy12aXNpYmxlLWluLXdpbmRvdy1wIGVuZCBuaWwgdCkNCiAgICAg IChzZXQtd2luZG93LXN0YXJ0LWF0LWJlZ2luICgrIGJlZyAoLyAoLSBlbmQg YmVnKSAyKSkgZW5kKSkpKQ0KKGFkZC1ob29rICd3aW5kb3ctc2Nyb2xsLWZ1 bmN0aW9ucyAjJ3N0YXJ0LWRpc3BsYXktYXQtYmVnaW5uaW5nLW9mLW1pbmli dWZmZXIpDQooYWRkLWhvb2sgJ3Bvc3QtY29tbWFuZC1ob29rICMnc3RhcnQt ZGlzcGxheS1hdC1iZWdpbm5pbmctb2YtbWluaWJ1ZmZlcikNCg0KKHNldHEg aWNvbXBsZXRlLXNlcGFyYXRvciAiXG4iKQ0KKGFkZC1ob29rICdpY29tcGxl dGUtbWluaWJ1ZmZlci1zZXR1cC1ob29rIChsYW1iZGEgKCkgKHNldHEgc3Rh cnQtZGlzcGxheS1hdC1iZWdpbm5pbmctb2YtbWluaWJ1ZmZlciB0KSkpDQoo ZGVmdW4gaWNvbXBsZXRlLXZlcnRpY2FsLXJlZm9ybWF0LWNvbXBsZXRpb25z IChjb21wbGV0aW9ucykNCiAgKHNhdmUtbWF0Y2gtZGF0YQ0KICAgIChpZiAo c3RyaW5nLW1hdGNoICJeXFwoKC4qKVxcfFxcWy4qXFxdXFwpP3tcXChcXCg/ Oi5cXHxcblxcKStcXCl9IiBjb21wbGV0aW9ucykNCiAgICAgICAgKGZvcm1h dCAiJXMgXG4lcyIgKG9yIChtYXRjaC1zdHJpbmcgMSBjb21wbGV0aW9ucykg IiIpIChtYXRjaC1zdHJpbmcgMiBjb21wbGV0aW9ucykpDQogICAgICBjb21w bGV0aW9ucykpKQ0KKGFkdmljZS1hZGQgJ2ljb21wbGV0ZS1jb21wbGV0aW9u cyA6ZmlsdGVyLXJldHVybiAjJ2ljb21wbGV0ZS12ZXJ0aWNhbC1yZWZvcm1h dC1jb21wbGV0aW9ucykNCg== ---212064758-1996646362-1605115395=:17489--
