Description
One feature of zsh-autocomplete we might consider adding an option for is always-active completions, i.e. you don't need to press tab to open the completion menu.

The issue does not name any files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing Reedline's completion-menu and Tab handling, then review related issue #357. Done means an option can make completions appear without pressing Tab while preserving the described filesystem-navigation behavior.
