Hmm, I thought that the keys were unused in this mode. But you are
right, they were used for command line history.
Looking for other keys, there are not so many available:
CTRL-@
CTRL-G
CTRL-O
CTRL-T
CTRL-X
Note that CTRL-T already has a meaning of going to an older tag stack
entry. So using it for "previous" makes some sense.
On the other hand, CTRL-O hints at Older.
Note that while searching for this the new CTRL-N and CTRL-P were
actually useful.
Taking up two more characters for this means there is hardly any left.
But there isn't much choice. Adding an option to change the behavior is
not nice either.
So how about this: Use CTRL-T for going up, like what CTRL-P did, and
use CTRL-G for going down, what CTRL-N did. On a regular keyboard the T
is above the G, so that's the hint for the user.
