Hi Juri:

With the current implementation this is not supposed to change. Of
course there is space for improvement and there are bugs, but so far,
all navigation still works in *Completions* buffer as usual because I
just added some commands. If there is anything that breaks the normal
previous behavior somehow, please tell me; because I put special
attention to prevent that.

We could add a custom to disable the new bindings in the *Completions*
if you think is better; because IMO the most important thing is to
"navigate" with arrows the completions from the minibuffer without
leaving it; and the overlay.

WDYT??

The code is extremely simple, so, if you think you could improve
anything it is more tan welcome.

Ergus
