### 6.1 All Matching

If you have many matching files, they may not all fit onto one line of the minibuffer. Normally, the minibuffer window will grow to show you more of the matching files (depending on the value of the variables `resize-mini-windows` and `max-mini-window-height`). If you want Ido to behave differently from the default minibuffer resizing behavior, set the variable `ido-max-window-height`.

Also, to improve the responsiveness of Ido, the maximum number of matching items is limited to 12, but you can increase or removed this limit via the `ido-max-prospects` user option.

To see a full list of all matching buffers in a separate buffer, hit `?` or press `TAB` when there are no further completions to the substring. Repeated `TAB` presses will scroll you through this separate buffer.
