What should that mean? `Start selection when the matches > don't fit on the screen, oh, *and* start selection always'?? > Not at all. We have separately completion lists AND menu completion/selection. First list is displayed (of course, with corresponding settings) and then, on the second TAB, menu completion/selection is started. So, that means `start selection INSTEAD of list if matches do not fit on the screen and start selection ON THE SECOND TAB always (assuming, it was not started already)'. What is so nonsensical here? I just thought, it is simpler than (re-)implementing full screen pager for lists - given, that we already have one for menu selection. > You were asking for a way to start selection in listing-widgets when > the list doesn't fit on the screen.

I never asked to change the way menu selection is selected (sorry for pun) instead of menu completion. I beg pardon if I have not expressed myself clear enough. -andrej
