It's also possible to capture completions without IPC (via zpty or
otherwise). It's faster and gives more context but it's difficult and
verbose. I do this in my own setup in order to replace the built-in
completion menu with an alternative one (fzf that opens above the
cursor). You can see it in this demo: https://asciinema.org/a/372068.
The bulk of the code is in
https://github.com/romkatv/zsh4humans/blob/v5/fn/z4h-fzf-complete.
