I agree.

Hmmm...well at the moment I tend to use the up arrow to move the cursor
around (I know, "Get a mouse!"), but perhaps I wouldn't be as inclined to do
that if I had a command history, since that is a big part of why I do it in
the first place. Would it really be so bad to make it ctrl-up/ctrl-down?
