I tried to use icomplete with “\n” separator, but encountered the problem that this package aims to solve. This should definitely be included as bugfix. And it's definitely a very good step. It would be even better if it could work with any of the packages that move minibuffer into a childframe. Unfortunately, the combination seems broken one way or another, probably because icomplete-vertical has to rely on a hack to get the right behavior. E.g. with https://github.com/honmaple/emacs-maple-minibuffer I get: Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Cannot resize a minibuffer-only frame") resize-mini-window-internal(#) window--resize-mini-window(# 36) enlarge-window(1) icomplete-vertical-minibuffer-setup() run-hooks(icomplete-minibuffer-setup-hook) icomplete-minibuffer-setup()
