Sounds like a good idea. I wonder, though, whether it might be useful to move the subwindow toward the bottom of the screen, to basically grow out of the status bar / entry line. I'd suspect that most long-time mutt users will have their focus down there when they start dealing with any interaction that they expect will involve a choice.Yes!
I believe that a window in the middle of the screen really looks out of place. Dynamically widening the status bar would be much more elegant and consistent with the mutt UI.
The problem is that it's really hard to get it implemented with translators in mind. Given some structured input to mutt_multi_choice(), how do you decide which characters can be ommitted per locale and which can't?
E.g. the sorting choice now contains 'frm' for 'from' or 'sender'. You can't assume that for all languages it makes sense to remove vowels, not to speak of lanuages with non-latin letters.
