Please, please, keep UI feel homogeneous ! Why not HOME, END, CTRL + -> like any other text editor in the world ? Even squeak is following that convention in TextMorphs ! Also let SHIFT+CONTROL+-> select over words and typed characters overwrite selection. You don't have to imitate a poor man's shell! Let history cycle when at beginning/end of list (with some form of advertising). And let restrict history crawling among lines matching the first letters if you typed some (like Matlab does).
