How do I access the command history from IDLE?
- I think you are looking for the
history-previous
action, which isbound to Alt+P by default. - You can remap it in "Options -> Configure IDLE -> Keys"
- You can also access this command from the top menu in IDLE: "Shell -> Previous History"
Incidentally, why don't you try a better (less ugly, for starters) shell like bpython or ipython?
