Command Editing and History

The new text window has command line editing. The functionality is similar to that of tcsh. Below is a list of the features that have been implemented.

    ^p    previous command
    ^n    next command
    ^b    backward one character
    ^f    forward one character
    ^a    beginning of line
    ^e    end of line
    ^d    delete next character
    ^h    delete previous character
    ^w    delete previous word
    ^k    delete to end of line
    ^u    delete to beginning of line

If the GUI is combined with a drawing area, the drawing area and the text area are placed in a pane widget. This provides the user a way to increase or decrease the size of the text area.
