It's there, try ESC-p and ESC-n. You can also do something like
|
|
|
|
>>> pr
|
|
|
|
and then ESC-p will retrieve the previous command starting with 'pr'.
|
|
|
|
Also, you can move the cursor to a previous command and simply hit
|
|
Return; this will move it to the bottom for further editing or you can
|
|
hit Return again to execute it.

I admit that the key bindings are not ideal; there seems to be no
|
|
universally accepted set of bindings. In a future version, you will
|
|
be able to customize your key bindings more easily; right now, editing
|
|
the keydefs file is your only resort.
|
|
|
|
(If someone is willing to put some effort in coding up this feature,
|
|
it would be greatly appreciated!)

How exactly did you change to the windows-settings? Is it ^C or ^V
|
|
that doesn't work? (You can verify this using the Edit menu.) ^V is
|
|
a Tk default binding for scroll-down; ^C is an IDLE binding in the
|
|
Shell window for interrupt; either might cause you problems (I haven't
|
|
tried this myself).

No, and yes...
