async-completions doesn't make any sense, you can't do anything else
while completing and you can already abort it by pressing ctrl-c. If
you want to show a message first, you can already do so, it will be
overwritten by the completion list once that's finished building. For
example I wrap the complete-word etc widgets with a function that
changes the cursor color, and then changes it back after, but you
could display a message instead if you want.
function _generic_cursorcol() {
#zle -R completing...
cursorcol cyan
{ _generic "$@" } always {
cursorcol_normal
}
}
() for 1 {
zle -C $1 $1 _generic_cursorcol
} complete-word reverse-menu-complete complete-word menu-complete
menu-expand-or-complete
