> Hello, I noticed that completion with file-list style shows a maximum of 8 digits for the size, truncating the leftmost ones. Does anyone knows some way to prevent this, or to customize the style (besides what is already in the manual) to achieve better data presentation, eg showing human-readable number format?

Discussed in https://zsh.org/users/26250 and follow-ups.

Short answer, you can override a function to alter the formatting, but
you can't get human-readable sizes (unless you massage them yourself,
I guess).
