Why `minibuffer-complete`? This will actually perform completion
(i.e. it may modify the content of the minibuffer). I think you want to
use `minibuffer-completion-help` instead (and I'm not sure why you bind
`completion-styles` since it will only take effect during the display
but not when the user finally hits RET). Also, you probably want to run
this within a `while-no-input` of some kind.
