You need to change the characters those keys are generating, there is
nothing you can do inside readline about that.

There are no control characters with these names. The C- modifier just
clears the 0x40 bit of the character, thus C-. and C-n map to the same
control character.

You have just bound the two character sequences C-\ . and C-\ , to
beginning-of-line.

As long as the terminal does not emit anything distinguishable for these
keys it won't change anything.
