Here is the next patch that does this and allows using all arrow keys
only when the completions window is visible:


Ok quick check :)

With the new option the behavior gives a much better navigation.

1) There is still the issue with C-g or ESC canceling everything

2) In tabular navigation the down arrow always goes to the first column
which is wrong; maybe it should use next-line or line-move instead of
forward-line?

3) It still needs and extra binding to insert and then to another
execute... RET just removes the highlight and nothing else... which is
un-intuitive because the candidate in principle is already selected.

I am not a good lisper, but I think that an approach with a minor mode
or a transient-map could end up being simpler and more modular without
adding more complexity in the existing code... WDYT?

Best,
And thanks again
Ergus
