Could you build this?
Partial While parsing autocomplete specs is doable, building a low-latency, cross-shell native overlay that hooks deep OS terminal emulator events and shell PTYs requires specialized systems programming.
What it would actually take: The app requires a native Swift/Rust daemon integrating via terminal hooks, pseudo-terminals (PTY), and Accessibility APIs to accurately track the terminal cursor's screen coordinates in real time. It requires deep systems knowledge of POSIX shell internals (zsh zle, readline) and macOS windowing systems to draw autocomplete popovers without input lag.
