To type the begining of an old CLI command and search backward/forward another command starting with the same chars with PageUp/PageDown, I am using this file for a long time (I think since RedHat 4.2):

$ cat ~/.inputrc
set meta-flag on
set input-meta on
set convert-meta off
set output-meta on
"\e0d": backward-word
"\e0c": forward-word
"\e[h": beginning-of-line
"\e[f": end-of-line
"\e[1~": beginning-of-line
"\e[4~": end-of-line
#"\e[5~": beginning-of-history
#"\e[6~": end-of-history
"\e[5~": history-search-backward
"\e[6~": history-search-forward
"\e[3~": delete-char
"\e[2~": quoted-insert
