Option to limit max number of results #141

Open ghost opened 4 years ago

ghost commented 4 years ago

Would be great for large monitor setups with lots of processes. Current behavior floods the screen from top to bottom and then top results begin at the top of the screen, requiring one to look up.

If there were an option to limit the results (eg to 10 or 20), the top matches could be closer to the center of the screen

[edit] Either this or enabling re-centering of the window as the number of results change for different queries

I'm not sure I understand. You simply have to look at the top to see the most relevant results at all times, this is predictable and comfortable behavior. You want the results in the middle of the screen with the window location to re-center ? I may plan to add custom window size and position to my modded version so you may like to follow it

If the window is centered, the most relevant results are at the top of the screen when the list is large enough. If one is using a large monitor (>32in), this is at the top of the monitor and one has to actually tilt their head up each time they want to switch windows.

The way I thought to fix this is to limit the total number of results, so the list never becomes large enough that it floods the whole screen from top to bottom.
