My terminal is using the \eOd format.  After searching and playing
about for a half an hour I was not able to find a proper keyboard map
for this style, nor was I able to get up/down working for search
history.  I commented-out the existing up/down keybindings from
/etc/inputrc without success.. up/down are still bound.

After doing some translation, I'm presently left with this:

"\eOa": history-search-backward  ## control+up-arrow
"\eOb": history-search-forward   ## control+down-arrow

in .inputrc, which works.

In the thread, ^v <key> was mentioned, to find various codes, which was a help.
