Package: libreadline5
Version: 5.1-7
Severity: important

In my .inputrc I have the following lines:

"\M-n": history-search-forward
"\M-p": history-search-backward
"\C-u": kill-whole-line

With readline 5.0 they work fine, but with 5.1 they don't work.

Oddly, if I bind to macros, e.g.

"\C-u": "foo"

it works fine. Also, I can make the first two work by using

"\en": history-search-forward
"\ep": history-search-backward

I can get some Ctrl-letter keys to work by doing things like:

"\x1": kill-whole-line # binds C-a to kill-whole-line

but \x15 does not work as expected (trying various codes indicates
that most C-letters can be bound in this way, but a few can't).
