OK, thanks. But is there a way to get/set this programmatically (i.e. from a plugin)? It does not seem to be an option…
FYI I am facing this problem with the LaTeX plugin. I have a command to insert a reference; right now I am working around this issue by bringing up a popup menu if there are <= 16 completions (labels) available, and a quick panel otherwise. I prefer the popup, as you can keep the eyes on the text, but the current workaround seems OK to me, especially because one can narrow down the labels by entering the first few characters (my command uses it as prefix to filter out non-matching labels).
Thanks! M
