Different terminal programs generate different character sequences for the
same keys.  To see which one yours generates, try pressing Ctrl-V followed
by the special key.  The initial ^[ (Esc) will be quoted, so that you will
see the whole key sequence.  For example, I'm getting Ins = "^[[2~" in
xterm, so I'd use "\e[2~" in my .inputrc.  YMMV.
