Add horizontal command menus?

Just a UI discussion, can we explore adding a horizontal expansion option for ‘/’ command, as shown below? Vertical expansion can become overly lengthy over time.

Looks like @Tonyin will be your friend, since both of you have similar thoughts in mind.

Yes, we have the same screenshot, this menu is from another Notion-Like app; I noticed the command menu is too long when I was using Notion, sometimes I have to leave the keyboard, move to mouse, scroll down a lot to find an option from the menu.

As the Objects and the Relations growing, the command menu in Anytype is increasing, it will also become very long finally. I was wondering if expand the menu horizontally is a good idea, or there is an option to switch the behavior both vertically and horizontally, and also, have an option to setting the menus count in one line.

I always type the first few words of the option I want to access. Say for example I want to access a heading I mostly type “head” and then press enter. I feel like changing the current list to something like your idea would increase clutter on the screen since I would see less while this menu is open.
