Eclipse Console - command history [message #129542]

I am using Eclipse 3.2 and I run Python using the "external tools"
feature. However, the one thing I miss is when using the console in
Eclipse, Eclipse interprets the up/down arrows instead of displaying the
command history.

For example, in a command prompt in windows if you type a command and hit
enter, then you press the up arrow it is redisplayed. This functionality
would be great to have in the Eclipse Console....any idea how to get this
to work or how to request it as a feature?

thanks

There's already a request for this and other features that would make
the console more shellish. The details are here:
