IIRC you can do it from minibuffer-setup-hook.
I've tried that. This is not about minibuffer setup, and
it's not about
completion-list setup (for which there is also a hook).
This is about _completion_ setup.
I believe that what's needed is a hook that kicks in as soon as
completing-read (and read-file-name...) displays its prompt
(just before or after). That hook doesn't exist.
My bad. I did try `minibuffer-setup-hook' previously with no luck, but I
must not have done things correctly. I just retried, and it
does what I want
in this regard.
(add-hook 'minibuffer-setup-hook 'show-it)
(defun show-it ()
"Show *Completions* on empty input."
(with-output-to-temp-buffer "*Completions*"
(display-completion-list (all-completions "" my-completions)))
Guess I'll have to flip-flop again. minibuffer-setup-hook is used for all
entrance to the minibuffer, not just for completion functions.
I'm looking for a hook specific to completion. I think we still need a hook
that runs whenever a completion function (e.g. completing-read) displays its
prompt.
