Research direction
Start by tracing the existing nix-style completion entry point and compare its behavior with windows-style completion. Review how the plugin currently presents the file bar, then determine how a second TAB on an ambiguous completion should expose all directory options. Done means directory contents are discoverable through the agreed completion UI without changing the existing completion modes.

Description
Basically, I'm thinking of something similar to the Emacs (or shell) behavior. With "nix"-style completion enabled, if the user presses TAB twice when the completion is ambiguous, show a list of all options. This could be done with a minihtml hover, or (preferably) by expanding the panel to include the file list above the file bar (ideally with sidebar-derived icons, but really it doesn't matter).
As it stands, windows-style completion is almost the only useful one (despite its annoying behavior), since it's the only way to explore a directory structure.
