Isearch-like mode would be a good thing.  Typing a key not bound
in its mode map will leave this mode and hide the *Completions* buffer.

Also like in isearch, typing M-e could activate the minibuffer with
the current completion string and provide normal UI for completion.
Leaving this minibuffer should copy the completion string from the
minibuffer to the original buffer.
