It there a way to display the complete command line in htop (e.g. in multiple lines or with a moving banner). With the default setting where only one line is displayed it isn't possible to distungish all processes, e.g. different java programs (because class or jar argument follows a bunch of arguments) or programs with long absolute path of binaries.
Omitting the full absolute path in favour of only the binary would be a compromise where distinction would not be optimal, but better in some cases.
I checked out the settings and the manpage and didn't find an option suitable in my understanding.

As far as I know, the only way to show the full command line is to scroll right with the arrow keys or to use a terminal with a small font.
EDIT (thanks to @LangeHaare): You can use Ctrl-A and Ctrl-E to jump to the beginning and end the command line.
