Research direction

Use the Windows environment-variables image as the visual reference and compare the requested element with the combobox behavior described in the issue. Define completion as a fixed-width list with a configurable entry height, scrolling for extra entries, mouse selection, and arrow-key navigation; double-click handling is optional.

Description

this is basically what it should look like... (this is the environment variables list in windows)

image

it's essentially a combobox but instead of a dropdown it has a fixed width (just a number) and height in terms of number of entries that should fit before getting a scrollbar.
any extra entries should give it a scrollbar and the entries should be selectable using the mouse and navigable using arrow keys
ideally double clicking an entry should call an onclick function which is passed the double clicked string but it's ok if not possible since it can be replicated using a button
