I proposed M-o, but which key you choose is not so important. 

However, I would argue to reserve the pair of keys `next' and `prior'
(sometimes labeled PgDn and PgUp) for something that, well, comes in pairs
and has some notion of, well, next and previous. That just makes sense.

There is no need to use a different buffer from *Completions*. When the user
hits M-o (or whatever), the current history list should simply become the
*Completions* set; that's all. Nothing special.

You don't need to use isearch to search the completion candidates (you can
complete against them, as usual), but you of course can (as always), just by
moving the cursor to buffer *Completions* and then using C-s.
