The autocomplete popups are really cool.

Does anyone know if there's a generic way to provide this for all tools with CLI's with help text? What about being able to parse a Programmable Completion file.

I don't know much about this stuff, but the thought popped into my mind.

This is something I’ve been working on!

Autocomplete popovers / CLUIs seem like a really natural way to enhance discoverability in the terminal.

There are some default completion replacements out there, such as fzf-tab for zsh: https://github.com/Aloxaf/fzf-tab

Take a look at fzf, it’s quite generic
