[vim/vim] Add an option for a vertical wildmenu (Issue #9679)
coldspark29
_Is your feature request about something that is currently impossible or hard to do? Please describe the problem.
Imo the horizontal wildmenu is hard to read. You always have to move yours eyes over the whole screen, plus there would be more entries possible in a vertical fashion.
Describe the solution you'd like
Since the drop-down menu is already there, it would probably be best to pass the wildmenu to a drop-down menu.
Additional context
Neovim already has this feature. It is one of the few things I like better about Neovim.

The current wildmenu is very old, from the time that updating more than one line would be slow. Using a vertical menu would work better. It's a matter of someone implementing this. There are some things to take care of, especially the positioning, handling a wrapped command line, etc.

@lacygoill Nice, so there are already plans. I don't feel like compiling Vim and will wait until this feature is fully functional with the required APIs.Or hasn't anyone continued working on that issue?
@brammool I believe that. It was a great enhancement over vi then, that is for sure. It is amazing how enhanced with has become already and I am looking forward to all the feature to come!

I think this can be closed now. See :h 'wildoptions' for details on how to set it up.

Yeah great. It works. I also think the traversing the tree with left and right arrow keys is a bit more intuitive. It differs from the old wildmenu behavior though, which used the down arrow key. Let @brammool decide that I guess.
