How about using ctrl-up & ctrl-down instead? Like:
"\e[1;5A": history-search-backward
"\e[1;5B": history-search-forward
or alt-up & alt-down:
"\e[1;3A": history-search-backward
"\e[1;3B": history-search-forward
or shift-up & shift-down:
"\e[1;2A": history-search-backward
"\e[1;2B": history-search-forward
For combinations of modifiers: use "\e[1;$(( 1 + (shift?1:0) + (alt?2:0) + (ctrl?4:0) ))A" (or "...B" of course).
