zstyle ':completion:*' list-prompt '[%l]'

seems to be fine for me, though the ordering is a bit awkward (and
I don't want LIST_ROWS_FIRST in general). But this disables the
question "zsh: do you wish to see all X possibilities (Y lines)?"
and fills the terminal history, which is rather annoying.

Isn't it possible to get menu selection automatically in this case?
