I agree that taking a like only for the ellipsis is inefficient witht he
space. Actually the ellipsis is something I would like to discuss, but
nobody put attention on it before ;(
That's not correct, both Stefan and me commented on this earlier.
My opinion is that there is no need to show visually that there are more
candidates, most (all?) other programs I use never do that, they just
display a list of candidates, and it becomes clear that there are no more
candidates when the list shrinks after enough input.
Stefan's opinion is that one could add a visual indication at the end of
the candidate list, which means that when one does _not_ see that
indication there are more candidates. It's a "non-ellipsis" if you want,
a "this is the end" indication. For example:
Find file: a[]
aaa
abb
acc|
(where [] represents the cursor and | the end indication).
