Indeed, this is why I proposed to create zcomplete-mode that works exactly like icomplete-mode, but updates completions in the Completions window instead of the minibuffer. >> 2. zstyle ':completion:*' menu select search >> - shows the prompt "isearch:" where typing letters >> searches them incrementally in the list of completions. > >>> 2) it will be simpler to implement with >>> icomplete and that family of completion engines. >> >> Agreed, this would be the best thing to do. > > For that we have fido and similes...

Most of these tools stay in the > minibuffer for completions... so they don't need to switch context. They stay in the minibuffer and display completions in the minibuffer, whereas zcomplete-mode will display completions in the Completions window while staying in the minibuffer, like zsh does.
