I suggest you use M-n RET instead if you want to be sure you don't
overwrite a register.
Also don't forget you can now use C-n/p or <up>/<down> to navigate in preview.

It is what it is doing actually with minibuffer. Hitting "a" highlight
register "a" and send a message "overwriting register", then you can hit
RET if you want to overwrite.

I think using read-key+minibuffer would be very complicated and would
need much more code, this for a small benefit: Saving one key (RET).
Also I think hitting RET in any case is better as it does a kind of
"confirm I want to do this".
Also using read-key leads to bug like we had previously as we must mimic
a keymap which is often wrong.
Thanks.
