Here's a part of my .inputrc:
set editing-mode emacs
# Non-meta keys
set keymap emacs-standard
Control-u: universal-argument
Control-w: kill-region
# Meta keys
set keymap emacs-meta
p: history-search-backward
n: history-search-forward
So Meta+p and Meta+n get history-search-backward/forward functions.
