Actually, there is internal customization in zsh as well:

1. zstyle ':completion:*' menu select interactive
   - allows typing a letter that immediately
   updates the list of completions.

2. zstyle ':completion:*' menu select search
   - shows the prompt "isearch:" where typing letters
   searches them incrementally in the list of completions.

Agreed, this would be the best thing to do.

Does vertico show completions in the *Completions* window?
