What matters to me is the ability to see the full list. If I'm on X11 I can scroll - and if I'm on tty, it does not help anyway. May be, something like "output does not fit on screen" would be nice - currently, it is not obvious. That is, there are two cases - list can be shown in full, but user set it to small value - ilst does not fit at all To distinguish between them is nice. The problem is, with all power of Zsh completion, I'm getting in habit to simply press TAB and see list of command options :-) And it is exactly this case, when output mostly does not fit on a screen. -andrej
