Re: [PATCH] completions-max-height

[Ergus]

I understand your intention, but in practice making this more complex is useless. The mini buffer is always down and making the completions to move somewhere else is uncomfortable and may require more lisp/emacs knowledge to change the default behavior from the user. Which is completely the opposite to my intention. Actually this same result may be reached with an advise as I discussed on yesterday on emacs help. But a simple custom is better.

I am totally fine if you propose something else more general if that don't forces the user to write a function to change a simple height.

 Hi:

 Do you think that this may be added to vanilla?

 IMO it would be better if this could be generalised to something like
 completion-display-buffer-action, so that you can decide where and how
 the completion buffer is displayed.  Though I am uncertain if this might
 have unintended side effects, as the behaviour seems to have been
 hard-coded for a while.

I agree with Philip.  Or go a step further and just let the Completions
behave like other buffers so the user can contol its placement and
parameters via the display-buffer-alist.
