Please don't forget that *Completions* can be invoked not only from the minibuffer, but from any buffer that supports completions (via `lisp-complete-symbol', etc.) So we can't steal `C-v' and `M-v' as completions scrolling keys instead of their normal meaning. Also `M-v' doesn't work for switching to *Completions* from normal buffers. So we need a separate dedicated key to switch to *Completions* from any buffer. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
