Subject: Ivy and completing-read with initial-input
Date: Sat, 29 Oct 2022 07:49:33 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <trinity-72c77371-fdf6-44e0-90df-5254ba07b4cf-1667022573533@3c-app-mailcom-bs08> (raw)

I am using ivy.  Calling an interactive function with a completing-read clause
that uses initial-input, the minibuffer shows the value of initial-input, but
gives the impression that there is a single option available for selection, 
rather than a list of possibilities.  Using icomplete-vertical gives a more
suggestive indication of the list of possibilities.

Is there any possibility for improving the capability of behaviour or display
to the user in the case mentioned?
