I agree with your reading of lambda-term-inputrc man page, but I disagree with your reading of the output of lambda-term-actions. I think the following stanza should give you the effect you want:

[read-line]
C-p: history-next
C-n: history-prev

Newbie question:

On OSX 10.11, I would like to configure utop so that Ctrl-P moves to the previously entered line of code, and so that Ctrl-N moves back down toward the most recent line. According to what ‘man lambda-term-inputrc' and ‘lambda-term-actions’ say, it seems to me that I ought to be able to get this behavior by putting the following in .lambda-term-inputrc in my home directory:

[read-line]
C-p: next-line
C-n: prev-line

However, this configuration to have no effect. I can move up and down through command history using the arrow keys, as I could without the rc file, Ctrl-P and Ctrl-N still do nothing.

Thanks very much-

Marshall
