zsh-autocomplete: Show part of the completions list instead of "Too long list" message
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently if there is not enough space on the terminal, then the message “Too long list” is displayed, which is not very informative.
Describe the solution you’d like
It would be great if at least part of the list was displayed, up to max-lines with the message “Not all lines are shown. Down Arrow to expand” or something like that.
Describe alternatives you’ve considered
May be this feature should be optional, although it seems to me it would not bother anyone.
