I think it would be very nice if in all these the same keyboard command was used to scroll that extra window and to move into that window. How about using and (on w32 that is Page Up/Down) for scrolling that extra window? Could C-M-x o be used to move to that extra (other) window? Or maybe Tab since that is easier to type? (For completions an extra Tab could be used.)
