Arrow Keys

Some terminals have arrow (or cursor) keys on their keyboards. These arrow keys are very useful; however, to use them you must have an ANSI/VT100 emulating terminal.

The Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys display command history. The Up Arrow key displays the previous command; you can also use Ctrl+p. The Down Arrow key displays the next command; you can also use Ctrl+n.

The Left Arrow and Right Arrow keys allow the user to move the cursor back and forth in the command line.
