What's the "simplest/easiest/best" way to move the M-x window from the
bottom of Vanilla Emacs to a drop-down window?
reddit / emacs

Please excuse the vague language, I'm really not sure what to search
for!

If I want to move the M-x "popup" to look more like the VSCode drop-
down action menu, using Vanilla Emacs, how should I approach that? I'm
using Counsel, if that makes a difference:

    ;; Replace default "M-x" and "C-x C-f" with Counsel version
    (global-set-key (kbd "M-x")
                    #'counsel-M-x)
    (global-set-key (kbd "C-x C-f")
                    #'counsel-find-file)

Sorry for the really dumb question :/

My whole init.el if that helps, any constructive criticism welcome! ht
