Here's is an excerpt from the bash man page: previous-history (C-p) Fetch the previous command from the history list, moving back in the list. next-history (C-n) Fetch the next command from the history list, moving forward in the list. Maybe icomplete could be more DWIM, and when completions are displayed, then use [up] and [down] keys to move through completions, otherwise move through the history when the minibuffer contents is empty.
