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).
