It doesn't.

This finish to fix the version of register-preview I wrote (the one you
don't like) regarding what bastien asked for.

Sorry but I wont write this, it is not complicated to write but needs
works and attention and I spent enough time on this.

The only thing you mentionned I agree with is the necessity now to use C-q
to insert key sequence (note that C-n/p will insert it alone), but it is
not a big annoyance right? (most people don't use this, I don't for
one).  For the preview buffer not visible, note that you can pop to it
at any moment with C-h.  Perhaps you will get used to the new behavior
after some time, otherwise it is easy to revert completely my commits
(it is the development branch of emacs after all).
