Hi:

Could you please try the attached patch (where the mode is enabled by default).

I enabled the keys only when the *Completions* buffer is shown and the
highlight completions is active. And added a hook to remove the bindings
when minibuffer-hide-completions.

I will give a look.

If this patch is too much code for adding in simple and minibuffer, I
would try to make a separate file with a mode. WDYT?
