[FR] Show up without text after set delay, or by pressing tab #341

It would be nice if we could have the prompt to auto show up in two situation:

1 - when no text is selected, pressing Tab shows up fzf

2 - when at least X characters (configured) are written and the user hasnt typed something for X miliseconds (configurable) the prompt would show up.

Of course these things would be user configurable with sane defaults you believe are best.

@dagadbm this is a great idea!

Thanks for your advice. But I think what you need is https://github.com/marlonrichert/zsh-autocomplete.

@Aloxaf I'm coming here after trying zsh-autocomplete and I have to say, the directory autocompletes are really bad there, like worse than the default. I much prefer being able to press tab and cycle through my completions like the default zsh shell over the zsh-autocomplete implementation. This repo does it even better, by being able to search those completions.

When it comes to normal commands, like ls, brew, or cargo, being able to easily search not only the completion itself but also the documentation is quite nice. I think this plugin does a better job than any other tab complete plugin.

Essentially, I'm looking for a fusion between zsh-autocomplete and this plugin. This is really the only missing feature for me.

Also, these two plugins are seemingly incompatible when run together.
