This case is an exception.
C-r is the most frequent key I use in bash running in xterm because
it is very convenient to search for old commands in the shell history.
I suppose the same is true for other users.
Using a different key in Emacs for the same functionality
will cause too much trouble. Just imagine when you have a habit
typing C-r to search on the shell history, typing it in the Emacs
shell buffer will not do what you mean. This recalls that
Emacs has a different key M-r. Then switching back to xterm
and typing M-r: Ahh, that M-r is valid only in Emacs,
but in xterm it is C-r. Arrrgh!
I think having two different keys for the same functionality
(C-r and M-r for Isearch on the history) is worse than having
the same key for different contexts (the shell prompt or the
rest of the shell buffer).
