Forget the up-arrow, C-r is a life-saver for us Emacsers who have to go to CLI for whatever reason.

Plus C-a, C-k etc. This is one of the reasons I'm so glad I learnt Emacs defaults instead of something else like vi. It works in every program that users readline!

You can just use vi keybinds in readline globally via the inputrc file.
