issue with cursor down bindkey setting

Hi!

I have some problems setting the arrow keys inside zsh. What I do is:
$ bindkey "$terminfo[cuu1]" history-substring-search-up
$ bindkey "$terminfo[cud1]" history-substring-search-down

The first command works as expected, the second does not, because 
$terminfo[cud1] is bound to ^J, not to ^[[B

$ bindkey "$terminfo[cuu1]"
"^[[A" history-substring-search-up
$ bindkey "$terminfo[cud1]"
"^J" history-substring-search-down

So where is the assoziative array terminfo set? Can I change that?

Thanks in advance

(you're using the wrong keys (array keys), it should be kcu?1)
