You need to change the characters those keys are generating, there is nothing you can do inside readline about that. > The other two are more peculiar.

The C- modifier just clears the 0x40 bit of the character, thus C-. and C-n map to the same control character. > Was it wrong, because not escaped?

As long as the terminal does not emit anything distinguishable for these keys it won't change anything.
