If I put
"\M-p": previous-history
into my .inputrc and fire up a terminal (urxvt or xterm), hitting Alt-p prints a ":" character. Subsequent hits produce ^[p like so:
:^[p^[p^[p^[p^[p
I would like for Alt-p to give me the previous command in history as Control-p does. I have verified that .inputrc is being read by binding previous-history to Control-t, and that worked.
"\C-t": previous-history
I have also tried
Meta-p: previous-history
with no success.
Has anyone else had this issue? Am I doing something wrong?
I'm on Debian sid using xmonad.

Adding
set convert-meta on
enabled me to set bindings like:
Meta-r: kill-line
Meta-r: kill-line
