There is incremental-complete-word widget that does what you want. I do not
know if it is widely used, so your comments would be welcome.
incremental-complete-word
This allows incremental completion of a word. After starting this
command, a list of completion choices can be shown after every
character you type, which you can delete with ^H or DEL. Pressing
return accepts the completion so far and returns you to normal
editing (that is, the command line is _not_ immediately executed).
You can hit TAB to do normal completion, ^G to abort back to the
state when you started, and ^D to list the matches.
This works only with the new function based completion system.
bindkey '^Xi' incremental-complete-word
You'll need
fpath=($fpath /path/to/zsh/functions/Zle)
autoload incremental-complete-word
(unless done already).
It did not work for me after quick test :(
