So use (define-key minibuffer-local-map [?\C-p] 'previous-history-element) (define-key minibuffer-local-map [?\C-n] 'next-history-element) or (define-key minibuffer-local-map (kbd "C-p") 'previous-history-element) (define-key minibuffer-local-map (kbd "C-n") 'next-history-element) since `kbd` is reasonably good at hiding those ugly internal details. or (define-key minibuffer-local-map [(control p)] 'previous-history-element) (define-key minibuffer-local-map [(control n)] 'next-history-element) Since XEmacs also tried to hide those details and Emacs does support XEmacs's syntax here.
