+Increase Tab Completion Menu Height
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+In terminal IPython it is possible to increase the hight of the tab-completion
+menu. To do so set the value of
+:configtrait:`TerminalInteractiveShell.space_for_menu`, this will reserve more
+space at the bottom of the screen for various kind of menus in IPython including
+tab completion and searching in history. 
+
+Autoformat Code in the terminal
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+If you have a preferred code formatter, you can configure IPython to
+reformat your code. Set the value of
+:configtrait:`TerminalInteractiveShell.autoformatter` to for example ``'black'``
+and IPython will auto format your code when possible.
