I've tried quite a few plugins that modify Choice Lists. This is the best one by far. High compatibility, many features, and great dev support. Thanks Ossra!

 

[Summer夏]

If the number of options does not reach the maximum number of lines, there will be a large blank area. Can you add a function? If the option does not reach the maximum number of lines, hide the empty area.

 

[Ossra]

@Summer夏 Updated to 1.42 to add 'trim' options. By default excess rows and columns will now be removed. Default actions can be changed within the plugin parameters and by plugin commands.

 

[Summer夏]

Thanks! That would be great. d(`･∀･)b

 

[Ossra]

@Summer夏 The trim options have been added.

 

[Summer夏]

hi, it's me again, I found a small problem, setting "spacing" and "width" cannot adapt the number of lines, there will be a blank area at the bottom

 

[Ossra]

@Summer夏 Can you show the plugin commands that you are using to trigger the problem?

 

[Summer夏]

 

[Ossra]

@Summer夏 Ok, I'll check it out!

 

[KotoYama]

Doesn't seem to be working for me regardless the plugins' placement.
Am I doing something wrong?
