    I am aware of that conflict.

    There are multiple keys assigned to history next and previous. I see no
    reason why there are so many keys (6) consecrated to this. `M-n' and `M-p'
    are still available for the history in Icicles (as in vanilla Emacs). This
    is anyway configurable in Icicles. If you want to use different keys, you
    can.

The reason for making UP and DOWN do this is for coherence with other
applications.  It is a valid and important reason.

So please look for other bindings for your new commands.
