Research direction

Start by locating the prediction list view and the existing behavior that limits it in small windows. Review how PSReadLine configuration options are defined and how prediction-list height is calculated. Done means a configuration value can cap the list at a chosen number of lines regardless of window height, with the behavior verified by relevant tests.

Description of the new feature/enhancement

I want the prediction list view to always only show 3 lines like it does in small windows.

Is this possible? If not, I suggest adding a configuration option to set the maximum number of lines irrespective of the window height.
