immediately show results, or only after TAB

[Pitometsu]

When I run customize-face, there are no swiper options, until I press TAB.
On other hand, when I run swiper, I see a lot of results with no input or TAB keystroke.

How can I switch this behavior: show results for customize-face immediately, and for swiper after some input and TAB?

One option is to use the command counsel-faces, followed by the c (customize face) action.

Good point. Added to setup:

(global-set-key [remap describe-face]            'counsel-describe-face)
(global-set-key [remap list-faces-display]       'counsel-faces)

However, it more like describe, but here immediately auto-complete for customize needed.

@Pitometsu I consider this solved. I added your suggested rebind to counsel-mode.
@basil-conto Thanks for helping out.

@abo-abo Original issue not solved yet. Even with counsel-mode, when I call customize-face, I have no list of options untill press TAB. But customize-group, for example, working as expected.

Even with counsel-mode, when I call customize-face

customize-face isn't designed for ivy. You have to press TAB, because that's the design of customize-face.

In more detail, customize-face has:

(read-face-name "Customize face" (or (face-at-point t t) "all faces") t)

While for immediate completion it should have:

(read-face-name "Customize face" (or (face-at-point t t) "all faces") nil)

I can't change the code of customize-face. But counsel-describe-face is a good alternative.
