I'm assuming you mean the window which pops up where you select the
capture template to use.

Just wondering if perhaps what we really need to do is provide some sort
of support for using Emacs completion facilities to select templates? I
realise this is challenging because of the huge wealth of completion
frameworks available in Emacs, but perhaps adding support for something
like fido-mode would be beneficial. To some extent, it feels like org is
re-inventing a wheel here and we would be better off using an existing
facility rather than develop/maintain an org specific version.

I see a very similar problem with the export menu, but that is a more
complex situation.
